I've only based my impression on a cursory look on the Rust API docs, so I might be wrong, but I did not find any references to database libraries, UI toolkits, multimedia and so on. I did not know about Servo, so I will have to look into it. Will the cross-platform components from Servo be included in the Rust standard library?
To give you some background about the kind of apps I was referring to - I am right now working on a UI-driven app that will be deployed to Android and on the desktop. I am using C++, Qt and platform code where necessary.
- steveklabnik 12y agoThanks, that clears it up a bunch. All of those things are being built yet, so we don't have much to link to. There are a few work-in-progress things, for example, the postgres adapter is coming along, and rust-graphics for graphical primitives. As we get closer to release, and as they mature, we'll feature them more. > Will the cross-platform components from Servo be included in the Rust standard library? As we already have a package manager, I think Rust will tend to have a smaller standard library, and encourage its use more. We'll see though. > am right now working on a UI-driven app that will be deployed to Android and on the desktop. We support Windows, Mac, and Linux as first-class platforms, and every pull request (and additions are all through pull requests) is tested on android. iOS coming soon.
