Napi: Build compiled Node.js add-ons in Rust

• gsilvestrin 3y ago
  Another option to use rust from Node.js is Neon: https://neon-bindings.com/ https://neon-bindings.com/. It is a little older than napi-rs. Overall using rust with node is not as seamless as Python with PyO3, but things are improving quickly.

  Might want to think of a different name, napi is an API in the Linux kernel, a space that Rust is targeting. It's going to be super confusing searching for napi driver implementations with this node thing out there.

    The name comes from Node so that ship has sailed, I think. https://nodejs.org/api/n-api.html#node-api https://nodejs.org/api/n-api.html#node-api

      It could be named nodejs-api then.
