Usage

             jaro_winkler, levenshtein_against_vec, osa_distance_against_vec,

    assert!(jaro_winkler_delta < 0.0001);
}

Development

If you don't want to install Rust itself, you can install Docker, and run $ ./dev. This should bring up a temporary container from which you can run cargo commands.
