Thanks!

Piping in a shell script should be doable, it just hasn’t been requested yet.

It is well supported in all browsers and operating systems. At least VS Code and IntelliJ support it, and even some terminals.

I don’t understand the “serde2” issue. Isn’t “someusername/serde” strictly worse than “serde2”?

GitHub being the only auth provider is something the maintainers wanted to fix, but didn’t have enough bandwidth to implement. I think they would welcome contributions!

If all you do in the Err(e) => ... match arm is returning the error, then you absolutely should use the ? operator instead.

If the match arm also converts the error type into another error type, implement the From trait for the conversion, then you can use ? as well.

If you want to add more information to the error, you can use .map_err(...)?. Or, if you’re using the anyhow crate, .with_context(...)?.

Oh, didn’t the domain somesoftwarecorp.com give it away?
