Is it? I wrote a pure rust iOS app recently. It uses native controls, and looks and feels great. iOS and iOS-sim are both very well supported targets by the rust compiler.

You’re not shipping code as part of Safari

  You're moving the goalposts. You said: > Shipping unsafe C++ is easier on Apple platforms than Rust. ... Which seems false. I can easily believe that apple might not have rust tooling in their Safari build system. But that doesn't mean rust has poor support for apple platforms.

    No, you're reading what you want out of my comment. The context of this thread was very clearly browser support of JPEG XL, not your apps.

      Chrome and Firefox are shipping lots of rust code today. They work great on Apple platforms. They’re even both planning to use rust for JPEG XL. What is your claim, exactly? Because as far as I can tell, there’s nothing stopping safari from using rust if they wanted to.

        My claim is that there is quite a bit stopping Safari from using Rust ;)

        Like what? I'm unconvinced.

        You will note that Apple has not shipped any Rust in their OS
