I'm playing with Zeal/Dash so I can view stdlib docs offline. (I've been coding on public transport recently, without a reliable data connection.) Anyone have tips for making the most of this setup? AFAICT docsets are basically HTML underneath.

When writing long-lived programs (daemons etc) in Rust, I find myself asking *where* I should put data. In a GC'd language it's just "I have a string" but Rust forces me to find somewhere to put it. You do get a performance benefit for this work though.
