I love writing Lambdas in Go. I would also love to be able to do that in Rust. I wonder if AWS will ever support that?

  There's been a rust runtime for lambda for a couple years now. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/rust-runtime-for-aws-lambda/ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/rust-runtime-for-aws... Rust's low cold start times and relatively minimal memory footprint combined with C like efficiency would be particularly attractive for lambda.

    Oddly, the official rust lambda runtime is not being actively maintained any more and the community is moving towards a fork by netlify [0][1] 0: https://github.com/lamedh-dev/aws-lambda-rust-runtime https://github.com/lamedh-dev/aws-lambda-rust-runtime 1: https://github.com/awslabs/aws-lambda-rust-runtime/issues/274 https://github.com/awslabs/aws-lambda-rust-runtime/issues/27...

    I tried using that runtime, wasted a lot of time, and discovered many issues, and stumbled across some issues where people were effectively declaring it abandonware. I found a fork which seems quite good, recommend it: https://github.com/lamedh-dev/aws-lambda-rust-runtime https://github.com/lamedh-dev/aws-lambda-rust-runtime

  I haven't used layers enough to give you any useful guidance, but when they released layers they claimed that they'd allow alternative languages to be deployed. IIRC they released a few new languages at the same time and claimed they were all built using layers. So this might well already be possible.
