  • Future of Rust, 2023 and beyond?
    3 projects | /r/rust | 17 Nov 2022
    One of the biggest selling points for me when I started to use Go is cross compilation; I develop on a Mac, but run a lot of my code on a Linux EC2 instance (or been doing dev work on a Windows+WSL machine) and Go's cross compilation options (either via the built in tool or via something like gox are braindead easy. Rust's cross compilation however makes me want to drive my head thru my monitor... there are no easy ways to build a binary for Linux, Windows, AND Mac without having to dip my toes into CI services and with that comes an expense that for a hobby dev I'd prefer to not incur. Is there a brighter future for easy cross compilation with Rust?
