Interesting. Can you provide a good link regarding generational index?
I was originally introduced to the idea by this RustConf 2018 keynote: https://kyren.github.io/2018/09/14/rustconf-talk.html. It's rather dense though.
I did find this random article that outlines just the concept of generational indices pretty concisely: https://lucassardois.medium.com/generational-indices-guide-8e3c5f7fd594
That same keynote is linked in the last paragraph! :) The
slotmapcrate is also one option for generational indexes.Ah, you're right! Somehow I missed that, good catch.
Thanks
