Short programs to implement specific solutions

Rust Snippets

I'm using this repo to collect short Rust programs that I've written to solve specific problems when working on larger projects. e.g., to add multi-threading. I'm still learning Rust so the code can undoubtedly be improved. The repo is only intended for my use, but it's public on the off-chance it is useful to others.

Repo Structure and Use

Each snippet is in its own Cargo crate, which also means its own sub-directory. If you are at the top level and using Bash, a snippet can be run with:

cargo run -p thread-worker

Alternatively, you can cd into a crate and use:

cargo run

Snippets
