RustCall.jl?

I wrote this as an example, but it sounds like you already know how to do that.

Simple example of calling Rust from Julia

Introduction I was asked for a simple example about how to call Rust from Julia on Slack. I thought I would post it here for posterity. Just to emphasize, my goal here is simplicity. For practical use, you would probably want to use cargo with jlrs. That said, I do find some virtue in simple and reductionist demonstrations. The code hellojulia.rs: #[no_mangle] pub extern "C" fn rust_add(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 { return 2*a + 3*b } hellorust.jl const libpath = "./libhellojulia.so" hellor…

If there were some additional support, I think it would end up looking more like CxxWrap.jl.

The existence of cargo does seem like a significant difference though, so perhaps a Julia wrapper of some sort would make sense similar to Conda.jl.

For a Julia package though, you probably would just want to use BinaryBuilder.jl to build the the C FFI.
