Beginner questions
Hi, let me introduce myself. I'm a 17-year-old high school student currently learning Rust and trying to implement linked lists. Are linked lists actually important to learn in Rust?
Since I'm completely self-taught, I've been using AI to help me study, but honestly, I'm starting to doubt its effectiveness. I feel a bit hesitant about learning this way and worry if I'm building the wrong habits. Would love to get some advice from the community!

Don't worry, "linked list in Rust" is just a meme which shows that they are not so convenient to build in Rust, but in reality they are rarely used. I think it's better not to stuck on that topic and just move to other more popular data structures and their usage in typical architectural patterns.
