It's weird when you hit a "missing stair" in the crate ecosystem in Rust.
I was hoping to find code for reading the Go community's txtar format. So far there's
- txtar, which can only write files directly to the filesystem (????) and is three years unmaintained
- rs_txtar, which has no repo listed (I won't use a crate I can't report bugs in) and only one version from over a year ago
- rstxtar (no underscore) which I guess is based on txtar but threw away the history in their repo??? So I have no idea what they changed. No readme.
- rtxtar, which has good API improvements...but requires nightly for no good reason
- simple_txtar, which looks like it'll work, I guess...but is not offered up by the search engines I tried, I had to hit crates.io and go digging, for some reason
