consider adding [an option to] print a message at the start of each recompile.

when saving changes to source,
it's sometimes nice to see positive confirmation that compilation succeeded.

so afaict, Grimoire doesn't output anything to stdout currently: just stderr when there's trouble.
what's your thought about a feature like this which would be printing to stdout ?

in other news, i implemented a version of this but it feels not in keeping with the rest of the codebase, in terms of how it's printing etc. i've never worked with Rust and honestly i'm finding it a bit convoluted from my C11 perspective. perhaps i should read the manual ;)

I updated a few of the debug! statements to info! statements so that you can see successful shader compilations notices when running with RUST_LOG=info.

I use the log crate to manage logging. You'll need to specify the environment variable RUST_LOG=info to see these log messages. I updated the README to mention this environment variable as well.

Note that you could also run with RUST_LOG=debug, but it logs a lot of messages that aren't immediately useful. I'm not really pleased with the current logging situation in grimoire and plan to overhaul it at some point, as with all things :P

sweet!

thanks for your patience with my fumbling through Rust. eg cargo run instead of target/debug/....
