ReactNative but Rust? (programming.dev)
submitted 3 months ago by GGORG@programming.dev to c/rust@lemmy.ml

Hi.

Rust can run on anything from web browsers to Adruinos. BUT can you make Android/iOS apps with it? I heard that you can make the backend of your app in Rust and then incorporate it into your Java/Kotlin app, but I'm looking for something like React Native or Flutter, where you can build the entire app (including UI and interacting with native APIs) in Rust without writing a single line of Java/Kotlin.

Does something like that exist? If not, then is anyone working on it?

Oh, and I don't mean I want one of the many libraries which just compile your code to WASM and run the app in a WebView... I want something that lets me make native UIs - like React Native or Flutter.

Thanks

What about Slint? Seems to be early days for mobile dev with it though but I don't know any other native rust based UI libraries.
