    Between workspace inheritance and tools like cargo-release, this has become trivial for me. If people don't want to use a third-party tool, we can always be working on improving cargo further, like publishing more than one crate at a time or merging support for modifying versions.

    Well, I don't use makefiles to deploy software with Rust. I also have never used lex or yacc, but I bet there are similar tools in the ecosystem, or wrappers for those. That would obviate what I will offer below.

    Often a new language in a project would define an application boundary. So those would be different containers or services. I may deploy via container images, or an OS specific installer, etc. If we aren't crossing an application boundary I may use FFI. Sometimes I use https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-bindgen/ to smooth that over for C dependencies. There is also a nice concept called a build.rs file: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/build-script-examp.... There's also tools like: https://github.com/casey/just and https://sagiegurari.github.io/cargo-make/

    I rarely use multiple languages with Rust. A lot of interpreted languages have bindings through crates and can go in to a project through Cargo. If it involves JS/TS on desktop, I'm usually using Tauri for that. Guess it depends on the system?

    Hopefully that helps. You can also still use a Makefile if you want I just haven't dealt with one in a long time.

    You might be interested in cargo-make, which is based on TOML, or Just, which has a syntax that is vaguely inspired by Make but much less weird sigils and more suited to non-file-based tasks.

    I would like to rewrite this project in Rust, but I am not so familiar with Cargo as I am with Make. Is it possible to declare these kinds of rules and targets ? Should I use a build script, a custom tool like cargo-make or something else ? What do you think ?
  • Including a cargo command as a dev dependency
    2 projects | /r/rust | 27 May 2023
    I use just myself, and I personally don't want projects' codebase to decide when something gets cargo installed on my system. For people who feel that's more acceptable, I'll note that cargo-make has first class support for the idea of expressing a task that depends on a cargo plugin:

    I ended up using it over just because it felt easier to use cross platform, and toml seemed like a right choice
