There’s also a half decent cargo-aoc plugin out there which greatly simplifies this stuff, if wrestling with a cli tool isn’t something you actively enjoy doing. (Its “generator” feature is flaky but also just not necessary.)

I run the code on my linux server, because setting up stuff there is so much easier. So program runs on VSCode's terminal window.

You mean this onehttps://crates.io/crates/cargo-aoc ? Hmm maybe I should test it, thanks. Although since I started learning rust like 2 weeks ago maybe it's good first to do things more manually.
Yup, that one. I’m relatively new myself and my take was that AoC was hard enough as it is, I didn’t need to add “learn how rust thinks about CLI parsing, then write my own logic around dispatching” to the list.

Granted, I then put AoC down a few days into it, but that wasn’t the plugin’s fault, just realizing AoC wasn’t a good use of my time right now. (Even those 4 days were a great boost to my Rust tho!)
