https://github.com/Amanieu/intrusive-rs implements what you're looking for with no heap. There's no need to flame or misrepresent what the book says (no one said embedded was a joke). The Rust embedded community is strong.
You're like the sixth person to argue I'm somehow "misrepresenting" what is being said in this book? I'm quoting it directly. The "flame" is in the original, and I'm responding to it.
Assuming that you're not trolling, I'll explain how you misinterpreted what you read: the section that you quoted is a sub-heading under:
> An Obligatory Public Service Announcement
which is an argument that:
> Linked lists are as niche and vague of a data structure as a trie.
The author then goes on to state that many people have contacted him to argue that linked lists are not niche and he puts each of those arguments under a heading:
is one such heading. Inside of it, he continues the argument that linked lists for embedded no-heap scenarios are niche and—to continue his argument—we therefore shouldn't be teaching undergrads linked lists just like we don't teach them tries.
I think what ajross is arguing is that it is the author of the tutorial who is trolling here. It is all true what you and everyone else say against ajross‘ argument on the purely factual layer, it is just that the tone of the PSA is needlessly aggressive and condescending.
