i want to second this feature request!

although some rather outdated and unmaintained rust-bindings for mxnet already 
exist ([mxnet-rs](https://github.com/jakelee8/mxnet-rs)) and the utilization of 
mxnets c-bindings looks more ore less trival given rusts ffi capabilities (see: 
[rust-bindgen](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rust-bindgen)), i would 
really like to rust officially supported, reliable maintained and a little bit 
better documented.

beside the fact, that rust is becoming more and more popular as very fast and 
secure general purpose programming language, it's an exceptional efficient 
solution to generate webassambly components (see: https://github.com/rustwasm). 
that's a field of applications, where python based development approaches 
usually fail. but because of mxnets excellent low level binding capabilities 
resp. hybrid nature, DNN creation utilizing python based gluon and final 
deployment via rust resp. wasm, looks like a very attractive and promising 
combination to overcome this shortcomings.

we recently saw a lot of interest and more advanced efforts to solve this issue 
in the TVM project ([tvm-rust](https://github.com/ehsanmok/tvm-rust), 
[tvm.rs](https://github.com/nhynes/tvm-rs)), which could be seen as another 
workaround to archive this goal, nevertheless i would see some kind of official 
rust support within the mxnet project as a very useful improvement.
