uniffi-rs VS gutenberg

On my youtube series "Growing up Rust", I'm building a personal CRM in Rust with a Swift frontend. I'm using CQRS and an event-driven architecture with the least amount of swift as possible. I'm using UniFFI to generate the bindings for swift (and in this example python)

Not officially. We currently have bindings for rust, python, golang and swift.

These were the most asked for bindings (python for ml, golang for networking and swift for ios apps).

We are using uniffi https://mozilla.github.io/uniffi-rs/

Would you need C or C++ bindings?

An alternative is metacall. The example in the readme is about calling Python from Javascript, but it also works with other languages, like Ruby, C#, Java, and other languages

https://github.com/metacall/core

List of supported languages here https://github.com/metacall/core/blob/develop/docs/README.md...

In the future, maybe webidl (or extensions of it) will bring interoperability between languages too. At the moment there is https://mozilla.github.io/uniffi-rs/ for interoperability between Rust and a number of languages (basically the ones mozilla needs: Swift, Kotlin, Javascript)

The tooling for the first kind -- calling Rust from another language -- is a bit less developed, and tends to rely on code generation that doesn't necessarily produce a natural C API. cbindgen, uniffi, cxx, and Diplomat all take this course.

Mozilla's uniffi-rs is really good. You write a common IDL and the bindings are generated automatically.

At Mozilla we built a multi-language bindings generator: https://github.com/mozilla/uniffi-rs/

Is there a connection with Mozilla UniFFI ?

Rust <> Swift/ Kotlin works very well with uniffi-rs by Mozilla: https://github.com/mozilla/uniffi-rs

So after shopping around a bit I found a simple, dependency-less static site generator called Zola. The lack of dependencies sounded very attractive after all the headaches trying to update my Gatsby modules. I wanted to give Zola a try and see what tradeoffs I would need to make coming form a React-based framework to this Rust-based generator.

I think you're thinking about Zola: https://github.com/getzola/zola

But yes, if I were to recommend something, it'd be Zola given that there's just one executable that you need to run and there's absolutely no setup required.

If I were to start again from scratch, I'd likely use Zola as SSG (https://www.getzola.org/)

I've used Zola (https://github.com/getzola/zola) for a static project homepage a few years ago to showcase examples with a simple description and a wasm app embedded in the page, it worked perfectly for me and the docs was clear on how to use it. It was very easy to set up along with a GitHub action to automatically update the wasm binaries when needed. It is definitely a tool I keep in my mental toolbox as a good default.

I'm currently learning https://www.getzola.org/.

It's more manual than idy like but it's gonna be for a small personal and work website so I don't mind much.

It's super fast.

Doesn't seem to fit your use casr but still.

(Note: that list is overwhelming; you don't need to go through it. Order by popularity and look at the top 3-5 at most. Hugo, Jekyll, Gatsby... Personally I'm using Zola [ https://www.getzola.org/ ] for a couple of sites, but that's just me.)
