Quick Tip: You don't need to create a new cargo project if you want to test if something works in rust

Using self-compiling & self-executing rust source code to replace quick-and-dirty shell scripts in under 10 lines
I have used Runner for this in the past, but my problem was that I could not get rust-analyzer to work with it, since the scripts are not a "proper" cargo package.

Rust 101
There is also rust-script[1] which runs "Rust files and expressions as scripts without any setup or compilation step." I wrote a data loader[2] in it for my Observable Framework project and have been very happy with its performance and overall ease including hot-reloading.

How to convince my boss that Rust is usable
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!
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"?
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
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).

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

would you use rust for scripting?
Is rust-script close enough?

Why is Rust always advertised as system programming not general purpose programming?
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.

If you want that, check out rust-script.
