Fuse was mentioned in the post, although it's nice to know thier are bindings, the post explains the motivation to write a filesystem with no purpose except to provide others with the skeleton to make it do stuff. Example you could take this approximation of a filesystem, extend it and maybe for your case, use Fuse to mount it.

For another use case, take the file system and extend it to do unit testing or something.

The point is it's a tool for writing other tools

Hey , so sorry for the misread! I kind of went quickly through list and lost the fuse point 😅 😅
It seems a really nice idea to make a tool for writing other tools 😀

Thank you, I think this tool for other tools reduces the scope and responsibilities, making a release more manageable 👍
