RustPlayground

A simple space for experimenting with Rust snippets, testing features, and trying out ideas. Nothing here is meant to be tidy or final — it’s just a sandbox.

Features

• Minimal structure
• Quick experiments without heavy setup
• Optional isolated Cargo projects for different tests
• Room for standalone .rs files or small modules

Getting Started

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/QuantumJunction/RustPlayground.git
cd RustPlayground

2. Install Rust (if not already installed)

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

3. Update dependencies (if using Cargo projects)

cargo update

Structure

│   ├── exp1/

├── scratch/            # Loose .rs files without a full Cargo setup
├── utils/              # Reusable helper modules

Usage

Compile and run a single Rust file

rustc scratch/<file>.rs
./<file>

Run a Cargo project

cargo run --manifest-path experiments/<project>/Cargo.toml

Run tests

cargo test

Guidelines

• Keep experiments separated so they don’t interfere with each other.
• Throw away what’s not useful.
• Anything that might be handy more than once goes into utils/.
