Motivation?

[glyn]

What was the motivation for writing hypergraph? Is there any open source code which uses it, for example?

Hi @glyn. The motivation is two-fold:

• I was listening to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-t1_ffaFXao and then bought the book from https://www.wolframphysics.org. I realized how interesting hypergraphs are.
• There's no hypergraph data structure crate for Rust. Of course there's petgraph, but it it's limited to normal graph data structures.

Regarding your last point, there's no crate depending on it so far (see https://crates.io/crates/hypergraph/reverse_dependencies).
