There’s an awesome-git list for a bunch of ML rust stuff not sure how up to date it is as well https://github.com/vaaaaanquish/Awesome-Rust-MachineLearning … not mine

  The Dark Arts of Advanced and Unsafe Rust Programming

  

The ownership model & borrow checker makes rust a bit of an awkward language in which to write complex data structures like trees and graphs. It can be done - since you can always use raw pointers & unsafe code when you absolutely need to to treat rust like C. But the language fights you, and the community can get a bit moralistic about this sort of thing. The rust nomicon is a fantastic resource for learning the limits of the borrow checker, and where and how to use unsafe code correctly. You will need unsafe less than you think you will, but sometimes you will have no choice.
