We are excited to announce that the Rust/WinRT project finally has a permanent and public home on GitHub:
https://github.com/microsoft/winrt-rs
A lot has happened around the world since my last update. I hope this finds you and your family well. We have also had to adjust the way we work at Microsoft. Ryan Levick and I have been hard at work getting things ready for us to continue the development of Rust/WinRT out in the open. We look forward to hearing from all of you whether in the form of feedback or contributions. There is much to be done, but we are excited to be able to share what we have accomplished thus far.
For more information, please see the official announcement and don’t forget to try Robert Mikhayelyan’s very cool demo.
I’m so hyped! Among other things, Rust could always use a good GUI solution, and idiomatic bindings to a native GUI on Windows are great for that.
And Rust is climbing on the Tiobe index.
Is there boilerplate code in the Minesweeper demo that becomes redundant and could be removed as Rust support on WinRT increases and matures?
