@epage Thanks - I missed this previously!

Looks interesting and useful, nice work driving this.

Is the initial proposal here to bundle this by default when a user installs rust using rustup, or would it be an optional, additional install?

epage commented 1 year ago

Bundled by default. As I called out, there is still room for rustscript for extra caching and --expr flag (as I'm reserving that for the repl).

Btw I caught that windows bug because I ported the test scripts to Rust. Feel free to checkout my tests directory to see how I do it with snapbox.
