Fair, but, if so, could we focus on one of those instead?

I'd be especially interested to see an example that's perfectly safe in C or C++, and for which there's no better way of doing the data modeling in Rust. Using the kinds of data patterns that have long been used to avoid circular references in functional programming languages, for example. Because we want to avoid getting too caught up in examples of things that should be hard in Rust because Rust is designed to favor different ways of doing things.

Or, to put it cutely, I'd want to be cautious about doing the equivalent of criticizing a Toyota for having a terrible glide slope.
