    Rust: RPDS https://docs.rs/rpds/latest/rpds/ and Im https://docs.rs/im/latest/im/

    Rust isn’t great for letting you do FP things like other languages, but it does have the best type system imho which makes it the leading functional programming language right now imho. If you’re not using too many specialized python packages then I recommend using Rust instead, even for toy demos, as you can be more confident your code works without needing to run it and wait for a crash like you would in debugging python, and the tests also run faster in rust due to the incremental compilation. Use cargo-watch and you can retest your code every time you save your work.

    I usually write a make command to cargo watch and rerun each test file : code file pair independently so then you won’t rerun your tests in other modules when you change the one you work on (faster but might miss stuff if you change API contracts which touch other parts of your codebase)

  • Are there any continuous testing tools with real-time line-by-line IDE feedback for Rust?
    2 projects | /r/rust | 20 Apr 2023
    you can use cargo-watch to real time run tests on save in your attached vs code console session which is about as close to what you're asking as I think exists for rust
  • Why does the "crate" nomenclature include both "binary" and "library"?
    1 project | /r/rust | 2 Apr 2023
    Note that cargo, by virtue of being a package manager for a programming language, is primarily going to be dealing with library packages. That's not because it can't manage executables (see cargo-watch for a particularly useful example), it's just that it's less common.

    A feature that I look for whenever possible in my development environment is Hot Reload, with it, every time a file is changed and saved the application restarts, so the cycle of writing-evaluating-refactoring code becomes extremely fast, for Rust, we have cargo watch, I suggest taking a look at the documentation for more details.
