Sounds FUN! We just put our first custom Rust code into production last week (not Evergreen-related). It's a cool time to be Rusting.

Hi All,

I've been learning and working with Rust [1] a lot over the last few years. What started as an educational journey has evolved into building working code, as I've ported various OpenSRF and Evergreen components to Rust. We're now using this code more and more at KCLS and it's been going well. (Migration notes: https://github.com/kcls/evergreen-pub/wiki/KCLS-Rust-Migration).

I've found Rust to be fast, capable, and a joy to work with once you learn the basics. And of course, there's the growing popularity [2].

I'm writing today to see if there's any interest in forming a Rust working group within the Evergreen community to learn the language and potentially assess the viability of adding Rust to Evergreen as a supported language.

I propose starting with a limited duration series of meetings, maybe 6 months. We can use that time to cover the basics and reassess from there.

I would also be seeking assistance/guidance in setting up and running such a group, at least initially, since it's not something I've done before.

Let me know if anyone's interested.

Thanks,

-b
