Would a macro work ok for you, like the inbuilt vec! one? There's a crate for that named maplit: https://docs.rs/maplit

    let map = hashmap!{
        "a" => 1,
        "b" => 2,
    };

one of the fun things about Rust, is any time you think "man I wish there was some syntax to do this thing in Rust" you can make a macro to make it reality, usually one already exists.
