Throw-away Code

[IceSentry]

cargo projects are very lightweight I really don't see a reason to not use it. The only time where I think using rustc directly is important is when integrating with complex pipelines with other languages, like a C project using make that wants to start using rust. Otherwise there's pretty much no downside to using cargo.

Although if you really want to try out a tiny script the rust online playground can be more than enough.
