I'm also considering GPL, but it's not really compatible with the App Store and it's unclear to me what is actually required to handle that correctly

I had tinkered with embedded development using Arduino and Rust before, but struggled to understand what was going on behind the scenes. By removing everything else in the stack, it really demystified a lot of things for me

It's made for the STM32 microcontroller, but also has its own emulator in Rust github.com/rechsteiner/...

30.04.2025 21:48 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0This looks really neat! An HTTP client in Emacs, similar to postman. I've been using restclient.el before, but I really like how this is built on top of org-mode github.com/federicotdn/...

It's a native iOS app built using TextKit 2 and Core Animation. The core of the editor is made in Rust, using on the excellent github.com/PoiScript/or... parser. It provides a github.com/rust-analyze... syntax-tree of the entire document, making it easy to do structured editing operations
