Show HN: Zero-overhead compile-time builder pattern for Rust

We&#x27;ve all used builder patterns. And though they&#x27;re elegant, debugging them can be frustrating. I discovered this while working with a large struct – missing a field only surfaced during runtime, which wasn&#x27;t ideal. That got me thinking: since we&#x27;re using Rust, why not leverage the compiler to catch these issues for us?<p>That&#x27;s why I created buco. It&#x27;s a simple yet powerful crate that gives you all the benefits of the builder pattern, but moves all the checks to compile time. If you miss a field, the compiler won&#x27;t even let you call the build method.
