Rust

this is a vent post

in typescript:

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

in rust:

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

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.)

hey i'm parsa from fleek. 🦀🏳️‍🌈

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?

The allocation is definitely fine, I'm just weird, lol. and the code I shared actually does what it is meant to do; it's just a little ugly to wrap things in a `W` all the time. That's my only issue with it. But honestly, I wish `Option<T> || Option<T>` was a thing supported by default.

But the one thing that's wrong here is that to evaluate the `|` the rhs is pre-computed before being passed, this does not happen in logical or operator since logical or has a conditional nature and doesn't evaluate the rhs if lhs is 'true'. Which is the same in JavaScript `true || foo()` doesn't invoke foo.
