• Bare Metal Rust in Android

  > At least with a language like Go, it somewhat makes sense, and has been attempted: https://gioui.org/ Gio UI is an immediate-mode UI, and immediate-mode UIs map very nicely to Rust. Egui is quite easy to use. https://www.egui.rs/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Bare Metal Rust in Android

  I didn't bash Java/Kotlin. In fact, I have written few android apps in Kotlin, Java and I also have fiddled with Jetpack compose, JNI and NDK (I have also played with mpv's Opengl/Vulkan's rendering on Android if that matters to you). I don't want to share the projects of mine because I don't want to reveal my identity. > https://gioui.org/ I know that tailscale's android application is written in it but I don't... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Bare Metal Rust in Android

  Tell me you've never done any Android development, without telling me... This is such a low-effort "take" without any effort to justify _why_ you'd want something like this. There's a high amount of impedance mismatch trying to write GUIs in a non-GC language like Rust which _has_ to run on what's essentially a Java VM (ART).

• Are there any popular computer applications written in Golang?

  Historically, C++. Today, (unfortunately) a lot of (non-game) desktop apps are written in HTML/CSS/JS using Electron. There are projects like Fyne and GIO that aim to make Go a viable language for building large-scale performant desktop apps. My open-source hobby project Supersonic is a music player app built using Fyne. Source: about 1 year ago
