That's the entire bloody point isn't it? Maybe you shouldn't be
doing a lot of the things that C allows you to do.
Like building a graph?
Sure, Rust is perfect if you can model your world like a tree,
but that is usually not what you want if you are looking for
performance.
You could replace pointers with integer-ids, but that is just
emulating pointers with a construct that may be harder to check
for in an automated fashion. So that is not a good solution
either.
