in reply to Rin3d • • •We use it as the cross-platform foundation for our apps (and I'm told the backend and storage teams are also looking into using Rust).
So basically, we write our business logic in Rust and compile it to #WebAssembly (#Wasm) for the web, and to a shared object for loading into #Kotlin for #Android and a static library for use in #Swift for #iOS. We also have #Windows desktop clients to eventually support.
It's basically the age-old dream of write once, run everywhere đ

in reply to Martin Geisler • • •interesting, do y'all have issues with wasm limitations? In #bevyengine we have issues on the file system and async side of things.
Also are y'all thinking to use tauri for the windows desktop since you already have the wasm target?

in reply to Rin3d • • •For Mail, we're not yet using Wasm: the web page you see on mail.proton.me is a TypeScript app from what I understand: github.com/ProtonMail/WebClienâŚ.
But we're working on other web apps that use Rust with Wasm. We pass events over a narrow FFI bridge using #UniFFI and that works just fine, even with async Rust. Side-effects like writing to local storage is then handled on the browser side, so the app is ultimately a mix of TypeScript and Rust.

in reply to Tris • • •@tris @Rin3d Ah, you're talking about doing the crypto in Wasm instead of using something like developer.mozilla.org/en-US/do⌠?
I don't actually know that detail: it could be that our Wasm code calls back out to the browser for a more native implementation of the crypto primitives.
