Anyone here using Rust on mobile? That's the potential usecase that interests me the most, but given that the tooling still has a lot to be desired, and a lot of mobile code is vendor-specific anyways, I'm not sure it makes that much more sense than just duplicating those shared parts between Swift and Java.

I could see it for small modular parts that are better suited for native code and when one doesn't want to use C, perhaps, or, of course, for infrastructure-level projects like Servo.

I just wonder if I'm barking up the wrong tree because much of the Rust interest I see seems more heavily weighted in infrastructure and backend, not in user-facing code.
