  • scriptisto

    A language-agnostic "shebang interpreter" that enables you to write scripts in compiled languages.

  • 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

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • 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.
