But in Rust you can do the same, I do this all the time:

  let _ = fs::mkdir_all() // Error ignored, Rust will not complain because you explicitly assigned to _

Or if the function returns something I need but I don't care about the error:

  let Ok(file) = get_file() else {
    file_unavailable();
    return
  }

  upload_file(file);

Or this:

  let file = get_file().unwrap_or_default()
