Not sure if it’s an exact parallel, but you can also embed files into rust binaries with “include_bytes!” and “include_str!”.

It's a bit more advanced than what Rust macros provided last time I checked. You can shove whole directories in there and then traverse them or serve as static resources with pretty much one line of code.

Random blog post with a few examples:

Very cool, I guess one the the advantages of rust macros is that you could write your own to do something more advanced in theory

You can do the same in Rust with include_dir[1]

I've gone as far as embedding a ReactJS app inside of Go's embedFS. It's pretty damn powerful.
