If we were to create a Rust version of this page for Haskell, what cool programming techniques would you add to it?

Well, you would determine the TypeId of SomeOtherType, then search for that as the key in your HashMap and get back a None, because no entry exists and then you'd hand that back to the user.
I guess, my little usage example should've included handling of an Option value...

So, it's only a runtime error, if you decide to .unwrap() or similar.
