Using the holiday break to learn Rust, I'm getting frustrated with Cargo. I mean, with C, I have a bunch of small programs that I use. But it seems that with Rust, to do the same, I have to make each one into a separate project, which I find overkill. Is there a easy way to make 100 little programs without making a 100 little projects???

@mripard Yeah, I found that. Still not as easy as just creating a bunch of C files, and typing make foo and if will compile foo.c

@mripard Yes, I found that. But you still have the extra step of creating the directory structure. It’s possible, but still annoying and not as trivial as C. But I guess that should be the tagline for Rust. Not as trivial as C

@mripard I totally agree, and why I've been an advocate. But I like to write these small programs, sometimes to just learn and sometimes to do a small job. All these are mostly throwaway code (but I keep for reference). In this case C/make is so much more convenient than Rust/cargo.

@mripard also, this is really the exception and not the norm. I find saving these programs in subversion (svn) is more convenient than git. It's best with a central repository than trying to keep several machines in sync.
