hi there. it's a random question, but it's #random channel so should be suitable. lastly I got into Rust and I'm building CSV viewer in egui. it is fun and works really well for my liking https://github.com/fricze/jonathan I also started having fun with Project Panama, and it seems like Java <-> Rust interop is actually quite easy now https://github.com/fricze/fire https://github.com/fricze/egui_clj those repos are really just 1-2 functions, nothing big, but it shows that interop is possible. to the case: is there anyone interested in building some bridges for Clojure, so we could use egui (or maybe Iced) from Clojure? There are GUI libs in Rust that have some traction and community, so bridging that into Clojure would probably benefit Clojure more than starting Clj GUI lib from scratch. or maybe, there's someone who'd like to build Clojure engine in Rust to get proper Rust interop? so we could write GUI apps kinda in Clojure, but without JVM? there are at least two repos that started implementing Clojure in Rust so there's some base already I'm not a specialist in any of topics, but would love to explore them and if there's anyone interested in similar thing, I'd love to connect.
