Waivers with an expiry date
A vulnerability scanner is a one-day yes or no. Running cargo-deny as a standing policy gate instead, with waivers that expire on a date.

A builder that won't compile if you forget a field
Go functional options enforce required fields at runtime, if at all. A Rust typestate builder refuses to compile when you forget one.
Process isolation won't save you from the filesystem
A flaky self-update test: separate processes still shared a computed cache path and raced on disk. Process isolation is not filesystem isolation.
Registering commands without life before main
Rust has no init or pre-main phase, so self-registering commands need another mechanism. Using a distributed slice to get the same shape.
Two API decisions that quietly contradict each other
A Rust gotcha: non_exhaustive promises an enum can grow, but returning a fixed-size array bakes today count into the type. Both cannot be true.
What survives a port, and what doesn't
Porting a Go framework to Rust separates design from idiom. Which decisions survived the move, which were habits, and how to tell them apart.
rust-tool-base: the same idea, in a language that argues back
A sibling to go-tool-base rather than a port, filling the gap between excellent Rust crates and a coherent way to assemble them.
Just enough Rust to follow along
A primer on the six Rust concepts you need to follow the rest: ownership and borrowing, traits, enums and match, Result and the question mark.
