I’m not ML pro and never used Python or Rust for it, but I know that our ML team uses Python extensively for it. My gut feeling is that Python stays the king in the ML field but the underlying libraries are going to progress from C++ to Rust in the future. Or at least, if Rust gets stronger math/statistics libraries. If you get something cool running with Rust and ML, I’m interested to read about it.

Unfortunately not. But I try to work on it a few hours every week in my spare time. I think that having an easy and free crate registry is crucial for the adaption of Rust in the commercial space. Companies don’t want to share their code publicly on crates.io. My full time job is in the IT security sector. My hope is that by pushing Rust as a safe language, we can close some fundamental design flaws that languages like C/C++ introduced and make software landscape more secure.

I ported the frontend for https://kellnr.io from vuex to pinia, which makes the code to hold state in the frontend much cleaner.

How is the overall ML story with Rust? Is it usable in comparison to Python?

The selling point of Ice (the underlying framework for libcosmic) is the cross-platform compatibility. Can I use libcosmic cross-plat as well, or is it more a specialisation of Ice for Linux with the clear focus on the Cosmic desktop? Would be cool to re-use some widget etc.

Never heard of it. I used the Rust book when I started learning it.

Is rust common in schools now or is it your personal interest that lets you use it?

What is missing in the existing ones?

Never used bstr. What was interesting about it?

Ah yes, compiles times. Off all the things that could be better in rust, my number 1.

Didn’t know that one. Thanks for sharing.

I get the feeling that there are much more game engines in rust, than games :P

I release a new version of https://kellnr.io with some bug fixes and updated Docker images (Ubuntu 24.04 base).

That worked! Thank you! The trick is really to embed the bookmarks into each other :)

Thanks for the reply. When I disable the toolbar, the bookmarks are correctly placed in a folder but the folder is not visible in the toolbar anymore. So I can either have the bookmarks separately in the toolbar, or in a folder but not in the toolbar. The combination of both seems to be only possible if I move the bookmarks by hand in the UI :/

Thanks for the response. I’ll have a look at it. It still astonishes me that there is no off-the-shelf solution to such a trivial and common use case.

Or use https://kellnr.io to host your crates. It automatically builds the corresponding docs and hosts them for you. Disclaimer: I’m the author.

Cool project idea! How did you come up with it?

I you share your code here, maybe someone can help.

https://tauri.app/ is very popular and does not need electron. It uses the OS native we view.
