this is a vent post

in typescript:

entrypoint: this.entrypoint || "/bin/sh",

in rust:

entrypoint: self.entrypoint.clone().unwrap_or("/bin/sh".to_string()),

I like Option.as_deref for cases like this:

self.entrypoint.as_deref().unwrap_or("/bin/sh").to_owned()

don't try this at home lol

(clippy: it's better to use `unwrap_or_else(|| "/bin/sh".to_string())` here to avoid allocating a string object if it's not needed.)

The allocation of a small string i don’t think is a big problem here 

What’s wrong with using the function you linked to?

You can always write a macro if something like this gets annoying
