  Learn Rust by writing Entirely Too Many linked lists

  

Have you tried doing something other than leetcode problem 61? I just glanced at it, and it's a linked list problem. Linked lists are notoriously difficult in rust due to the borrowing rules (check this link out if you want to go down that rabbit hole: https://rust-unofficial.github.io/too-many-lists/). If this problem is the first thing you have tried doing with rust, I would try starting elsewhere.

If that was all there was to it, I think this would still be a pretty difficult problem. Unfortunately, Rust has another curveball to throw at us here. If you look at my code behind that link, there's a NOTE: in the middle about how we need to use .unwrap() in a particular spot to work around a borrow checker limitation. That's genuinely unfortunate, and I both hope and expect that a future version of the compiler won't need this workaround. (The compiler project related to this is called "Polonius".) But today we need it, and as a beginner it's very difficult to discover this on your own.
