This post provides a guide/tutorial from what I learn't from one of my projects on how to wrap errors with enums when using the error stack crate in rust.

I guess what I don't really understand still is what advantage this provides over something like anyhow.

Error stack will give will print the full stack of errors and their corresponding line in the code. Much like a backtrace, but for errors.

Doesn't anyhow also give a stack of errors? Although not with lines, that does sound useful.

You are right, it does. But as you say, it seems more limited in that aspect than error-stack from a first glance.
