  3. Cargo

    The Rust package manager

    Nice hack! Would it have been possible back then to use cargo to pull in some dependencies?

    The clean solution of cargo script is here: https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/12207

  4. evcxr

    Emacs didn't invent REPL, and it's common everywhere. For Rust: https://github.com/evcxr/evcxr/blob/main/evcxr_repl/README.m.... But heck, the compiler is reasonably fast enough that any IDE can REPL by compiling the code.

    The value here is more in being able to read a script before you run it, then have it run fast, maybe tweaking something here and there. And a compiled script will run 10,000 times faster than LISP, which can be important.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
