Out of the major operating systems, Windows is probably by far my favorite to develop for[1] using Rust. windows-rs[2] is officially supported and is constantly being worked on and improved.

- no_wizard 2y agoThis makes me wonder what .NET would look like if developed in Rust instead of C#
- e12e 2y agoLike working with dotnet from f#?
- renewedrebecca 2y agoRust#
- mgnn 2y agoRust-sharp? That's tetanus.
- estebank 2y agoFun fact I didn't learn until adulthood: rust itself doesn't carry tetanus. What does is dirt. A rusty nail can pierce through clothing and skin because it is a nail, and can be assumed to have been in the dirt because it is rusty. It's "only" a useful approximation.
- lostmsu 2y agoNot quite the same guarantees.
- bsnnkv 2y agoHonestly, I am someone who knows nothing about the .NET / Windows ecosystem outside of the Win32 calls required to build out a tiling window manager and a hotkey daemon. These are mostly calls that go all the way back to Windows 95 (and maybe even earlier?) However, if I as an absolute Windows programming newbie with basic competency in Rust could pick up windows-rs and build a tiling window manager, I'm sure that people who are intimately familiar with the .NET and Windows development ecosystem could develop incredible things targeting Windows with Rust.
- LowLevelMahn 2y agothe .Net environment strongly depends on the runtime-ability of all .Net Languages - its feel like AOT (ahead-of-time/finaly compiled) but its not, so Rust woulnd fit good
- no_wizard 2y agoIt does now, yes. This is a hypothetical that only looks at what .NET but in Rust would look like, ecosystem aside
