  • How to convince my boss that Rust is usable
    2 projects | /r/rust | 15 Jun 2023
    To address your concerns about non-trivial building process making Rust less suitable for small scripts : https://rust-script.org/ Work is actively being done. (not by me)
  • I made a scriptable spaced repetition CLI with Rust and Rhai!
    2 projects | /r/rust | 7 May 2023
    I started this as a little script made with rust-script, which took only a few hours to mock up, and then I was able to refactor the core logic into a much larger scriptable system over only about a day. And, Rust being Rust, it worked first time once I got it compiling! Also, I have to say, having a full-blown custom scripting engine just work is a novelty coming from web programming, and Rhai is a great choice if you need this sort of functionality in your own projects!
  • Organizing a large collection of Rust "scripts"?
    3 projects | /r/rust | 12 Apr 2023
    Use rust-script ! Instead of having a folder for each script, your script could be a single file, just like you would in python. Then you can put all the files in a single directory with a readme describing the functionality and use-case of each script.
  • Pre-RFC: `cargo-script` for everyone
    2 projects | /r/rust | 7 Apr 2023
    In case you didn't notice in the Prior Art section, rust-script is the most actively maintained descendant of cargo-script (from which the cargo-eval crate is forked as well).

    Someone even wrote https://rust-script.org/ to make that "shell scripting using Rust" use-case more convenient.

    Is rust-script close enough?
    6 projects | /r/rust | 20 Mar 2023
    So personally, I use: - bash for super super basic things - ifs and loops are pretty much off the table - Rust for anything more complex than that - I've had a good time using https://rust-script.org/ , it's got some really cool features, and a very Unix-y feel

  • Why is Rust always advertised as system programming not general purpose programming?
    3 projects | /r/rust | 3 Dec 2022
    That may have been more of the originator of the idea, but what I believe I had used was rust-script, looking into it more. That one isn't maintained.
