WHAT
Yeah it's great for little scripts. There's even a
cargo scriptfeature that's being worked on so you can compile & run them using a shebang.I'd use a shell script if it is literally just a list of commands with no control logic or piping. Anything more than that and you're pointing a loaded gun at your face, and should switch to a proper language, of which Rust is a great choice.
