Denim is an alternative way to make and run Rust "scripts" with focus on minimal runtime overhead and ease of script development.

Features

• Tool set to create, build and tests scripts without interrupting callers.
• Full real-time output of cargo command runs.
• Support for Cargo.toml definitions within script source.
• Sensible script templates.
• Very low execution overhead after script was built.
• #! support.

Non-goals

• Run inline scripts - use cargo script(er) for this.
• Non Linux support.

Example

Crate new minimal script and execute it.

denim new --bare hello_world
./hello_world

Crate new Cotton prelude script and execute it.

denim new hello_world
./hello_world

Rebuild and run script after making changes.

denim exec hello_world

Run tests.

denim test hello_world

Check script.

denim check hello_world
