  1. Using PhantomData in Rust can help reduce code duplication by creating a generic struct with common fields and methods.
  2. Marker types like FreeLineQuantityTag and BilledLineQuantityTag can help differentiate between types when refactoring code.
  3. Leveraging advanced Rust features like PhantomData can lead to more maintainable and expressive code in real-world projects.

  1. Understanding Data Structures and Algorithms is important for becoming a better engineer, even if you may not use them daily.
  2. Linked Lists are a linear data structure where elements are not stored contiguously in memory but are linked using pointers.
  3. Creating a simple Linked List in Rust involves defining nodes with values and pointers to other nodes, creating a LinkedList to hold these nodes, and then linking them to form a chain.

  1. Typed Tagless Final Interpreters in Rust provide efficiency, extensibility, and expressiveness.
  2. Domain-specific languages focus on solving specific problems well and can be embedded into a host language like Rust.
  3. In the final style, the host language's type system is leveraged directly, allowing for type-safe operations like formatted string processing.
