Rust plugins

[elyashiv]

I have seen rust plugins mentioned in #914, but I couldn't find any documentation on the matter... Is it still supported? Are there any references I should look at?

Hey, that was mostly an experiment that was discontinued because nobody really used it and nobody wanted to maintain it.

It's still possible to write parts of a plugin in Rust though by using the C++ template and linking in a static library written in Rust and then just using ffi. Any API calls will need to be done from C++ though but you can of course write wrappers you can call from Rust
