> Hi, awesome to see Celix is making progress towards Rust 👍 > > Are you open to contributions on this topic? Although I am not completely familiar with the internals of Celix yet, I would love to wrap my head around your concepts and see if we can create a nice and secure Rust API for Celix. Hi, Firstly thanks for the interest! Additional help is always welcome :smile: . Although this pull request has remained dormant for some time, I still believe that introducing Rust bindings, alongside the existing C++ bindings, would greatly benefit Apache Celix. Please note that Rust support, as well as this pull request, is still experimental. Rust is a new for me (and, I believe, for the other committers as well), and we are all in the process of understanding how Rust concepts can be integrated into Apache Celix, or more broadly, how they fit within a dynamic, in-process, service framework. Another point to consider is that, for now, we have decided to develop Rust support on top of the C framework, thereby leveraging the existing and stable C framework. Theoretically, this approach could be reversed, but in my opinion, that is not our current objective. A good way to start would be to try out Apache Celix and, specifically, this branch. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here or on the Apache Celix dev mailing list (see [https://celix.apache.org/support/mailing-list.html](https://celix.apache.org/support/mailing-list.html)). And, of course, it is possible to create a pull request on top of this pull request to introduce some changes. Apache Celix is part of the [Apache Software Foundation (ASF)](https://www.apache.org/), and in practice, this means that we can accept some small (code) donations, but for more or larger donations, an [ASF Contributor Agreement](https://www.apache.org/licenses/contributor-agreements.html) is needed. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
