macOS Apps in Rust

• cacao

  22 1,733 6.7 Rust

  Rust bindings for AppKit (macOS) and UIKit (iOS/tvOS). Experimental, but working!

• core-foundation-rs

  3 909 8.0 Rust

  Rust bindings to Core Foundation and other low level libraries on Mac OS X and iOS

  

Rust has RAII so you can have retain on 'clone' operations and release on drops, just like the native Rc/Arc types do.

This is, incidentally, how the servo bindings to core-foundation work (I prefer those bindings where there is overlap).

• swift-bridge

  swift-bridge facilitates Rust and Swift interop.

A bit late, but `swift-bridge` (https://github.com/chinedufn/swift-bridge) does this intelligently, and is probably what you're looking for.
