Building Rust libraries for iOS in 2021
We do what cargo-lipo recommends: Adjust the library search path per target, build your library as normal per target and Xcode will figure out the rest. That works perfectly fine. We ship our library as an xcframework within a Swift package now. Applications can then rely on the Swift Package Manager to do its thing. (At some point I should write this up nicely in a blog post or something I guess...)

Is NDK r10e still required to build Rust for Android?
Yup, NDK 21 works just fine. We've been using that in our Android projects for a long time now.

What is the proper language markup type we should use for a MakeFile code snippet?
Another option is to use Linguist which is what GitHub uses (I use linguist via .gitattributes files for all of my code projects). It is community driven and supports essentially every language possible: see languages.yml.

Track my coding progress on GitHub with a .NET Worker Service
As I later found out, GitHub uses the Linguist library to measure the amount of lines written in a specific language... which is still pretty magic 🪄.
