makefile used in Rust or Python projects?

Answer 1

The native package manager, Cargo , is usually responsible for directly compiling the code for rast .
Makefiles in rast projects are sometimes used to automate other routine tasks, such as launching a debug server with the required config, converting resources, preparing some special packages, etc. But for this, be sure to use an honest make, you can take one of the cargo extensions that are close in functionality, for example https://github.com/sagiegurari/cargo-make .

Answer 2

File instructions for building the project. Not to write scripts. It's usually auto-none and very large.
