    Are you just trying to throw shade on Rust?

    > NOTE: It is almost always better to use Vec or VecDeque because array-based containers are generally faster, more memory efficient, and make better use of CPU cache.

  • The Hunt for the Missing Data Type

    I used to think that since graphs are such a broad datastructure that can be represented in different ways depending on requirements that it just made more sense to implement them at a domain-ish level.

    Then I saw Petgraph [0] which is the first time I had really looked at a generic graph library. It's very interesting, but I still have implemented graphs at a domain level.

    For graph algorithms specifically, also consider looking at the implementations in petgraph.

    I second the need for quickcheck-style tests. I implemented a matching algorithm in petgraph, and quickcheck discovered so many bugs on non-trivial graphs. Thanks to it, I am now much more confident that it is indeed correct.
