# Rust CLI Scaffolding

One of the biggest patterns I noticed when working on Rust projects in the monorepo was that they were mostly CLI tools. I found myself doing the same boilerplate over and over again.

I think much like Google, having a function that handles sensible defaults would be a good idea.

But also, maybe a Rust project set up to avoid the common pitfalls?
