    The bindata package that samhw linked goes further by walking a whole directory and embedding it all, supplying a function that maps from pathname to file contents. Looks like it returns an Option> though [1] which means it must be copying the file contents each time. I don't know why they didn't just return a &'static [u8] instead.

    There's another crate includedir which looks more popular. It also supports compression. But if the file is stored in compressed form, looks like it also will (decompress/)copy into a fresh Vec, whether you request the uncompressed or compressed forms. [2] That's not what I would like.

    I could use a high-quality implementation of this same idea. Personally I don't get using it for a personal blog (I'd rather be able to change the content without recompiling/restarting), but on my todo list is producing a zero-dependency, single-binary form of software I'm working on, including its web interface. I might end up writing my own.
