Application design: communication from Rust to another language
I use a (poorly documented) crate called cffi to make converting the types between Rust and C (and therefore Swift) as coherent as possible.

Application design: communication from Rust to another language
Xcode is an angry child when it comes to external dependencies, so I made cargo-cocoapods to make generating a cocoapod out of a Rust crate simple. This will generate a podspec, build all the required targets for iOS and/or macOS, then allow you to bundle the output into a valid zip file that a Cocoapods Podfile can consume.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing cffi and cargo-cocoapods you can also consider the following projects:
PyO3 - Rust bindings for the Python interpreter
grpc-swift - The Swift language implementation of gRPC.
interoptopus - The polyglot bindings generator for your library (C#, C, Python, …) 🐙
divvunspell-sdk-swift - A Swift wrapper around DivvunSpell
tonic - A native gRPC client & server implementation with async/await support.
