oxidize

Run rust code with a #!/path/oxidize. No need for a cargo project or anything else. It's compiled into a cache at ~/.rusted and only re-compiled when needed.

stdout, stderr and stdin are handled as well as argument passing.

example

#!/usr/bin/oxidize

fn main() {
    for _ in range(0i, 2i) {
        println!("fo {}", std::os::args()[2]);
        std::io::timer::sleep(std::time::duration::Duration::seconds(1))
    }
}

and then run as usual

$ ./myscript foo bahr
fo foo
fo foo
$

Contributing

This is my first public rust project; all sorts of suggestions, tips or general helpfullness is appreciated.

Why?

We're writing rust for systems, embedded, games, web so I got curious about using it for small scripts. Well, that and I was bored.

Thanks

To all the helpful people in #rust
