1. I always wanted to have rust-analyzer in my $HOME/bin folder, from where I could share it with VSCode and NeoVIM (possibly others if I find them in the future). This was done using bash script without any error handling, which failed from time to time, also I wanted to use Rust for some CLI project and have a little bit more practice with the language and ecosystem and this provided perfect opportunity.

2. Also bash script was not portable to Windows, since i do most of my rust development on Windows PC, this was one deal breaker for me to rewrite the script into Rust.
