    Message::Move { x, y } => println!("Move to x: {}, y: {}", x, y),
    Message::Write(text) => println!("Text: {}", text),
    Message::ChangeColor(r, g, b) => println!("Change color to red: {}, green: {}, blue: {}", r, g, b),

• Implementing a basic node structure.
• Managing ownership and borrowing between nodes.
• Using lifetimes to ensure the linked list's safety.

Mastering Rust's memory management model, including ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes, is essential for writing safe and efficient programs. These concepts, while initially challenging, provide powerful tools for managing resources and ensuring that your code is free from common memory-related errors. By applying the patterns and techniques covered in this tutorial, you can take full advantage of Rust’s unique approach to memory management.
