JS/Typescript Backend for Tauri

[FleetAdmiralJakob]

I don't know Rust, but I love Typescript, explicitly with Next.js. Is there a way to run my Tauri Backend with Typescript or the Next.js backend features?

Nope. You can sidecar node.js into your application and run code there, but Tauri is a Rust project, if you want to develop backend functionality you'll have to use Rust. You can get pretty far with just using the Tauri JS API though and plugins. But Tauri doesn't provide any form of javascript runtime that you can tap into.

Is it viable to run a node process and proxy everything through tauri?

Can't I call my next.js apis from Tauri and only use JS/TS?
