Recursive iterators in Rust

I’ve been looking for this blog post everywhere, but it doesn’t exist, so I guess it’s my turn to write about Some Fun with Rust.

The task at hand

Let’s say you have a recursive, acyclic data structure, like so:

struct Node {
    values: Vec<i32>,
    children: Vec<Node>,
}

This allows you to represent a tree-like structure:

   [1, 2, 3]
       /\
      /  \
     /    \
    /      \
   /        \
[4, 5]    [6, 7]
