Structs are great in Rust, but sometimes I find them a bit heavyweight. There's a little more syntax than e.g. OCaml, for type definitions and usages. I end up using more structs (records) in OCaml as a result. rust-analyzer has "convert tuple to named struct", which helps.

I rather like the fs.readFileSync API in node. It gives you a buffer, unless you specify a text encoding. This gently encourages users to think about their encoding, without having a heavyweight unicode datatype.
