Evaluating Cargo script syntax proposals
The Cargo team are investigating options for adding some new syntax to single-file Rust programs to enable dependencies to be provided in the same place as the cose. The discussion has hit a bit of an impasse and they've asked for my impressions. So there they are (live, unscripted).
The two programs I'm using to evaluate them:
///
use fastrand;
fn main() {
if fastrand::bool() {
println!("Hello")
}
}
///
use regex::Regex;
fn main() {
let re = Regex::new(r"\b\w+\b").unwrap();
let text = "Zero-cost abstractions is an unhelpful term.";
let word_count = re.find_iter(text).count();
println!("{word_count}")
}
