Interesting that Windmill's backend seems to be implemented in Rust, but the docs talk about supporting jobs written in Python, TypeScript and Go. I understand there is generic Docker support, but does anyone know if you can run Rust jobs natively?
- sisve 3y agoIt can not. (It does support go)
- rubenfiszel 3y agoWe could add support for Rust, and it would work the same as go, do a built step prior, and then cache the binary. If we have enough demand for it, we will add it (we are a small team and can only prioritize what's popular unfortunately). On a personal note, I write a lot of rust (and love it) but using rust for writing non-backend type of stuff is not something I would do myself. I'm more of a believer of hybrid like polars that optimize the compute in Rust but provide a compatible sdk in python.
