Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (5/2023)!
some time later.. something like this, and I've added a repo in case I mess around with this in the future.

create a &Struct for a &Value
Yes, that's possible if you use repr(transparent). And as always David Tolnay has a crate for that: https://github.com/dtolnay/ref-cast

When Rust hurts
Actually you can, as long as the newtype struct has #[repr(transparent)]. The ref-cast crate makes it easy to do this without having to (directly) use unsafe code!

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (5/2023)!
You can add #[repr(transparent)] and then call transmute(), or use https://github.com/dtolnay/ref-cast (which is exactly what it does anyway, providing a safe interface).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing text_adventure and ref-cast you can also consider the following projects:
cross - “Zero setup” cross compilation and “cross testing” of Rust crates
rust-bindgen - Automatically generates Rust FFI bindings to C (and some C++) libraries.
serde-aux - An auxiliary serde library providing helpful functions for serialisation and deserialisation for containers, struct fields and others.
kanin - A microservice framework for AMQP, protobuf and Rust.
jlox-rs - Following along the first (Java) part of https://craftinginterpreters.com/, but with Rust, because reasons.
auto-future - A way to easily build structs that can be turned into futures
