To supplement the other sibling question that I answered:

It's a learning experience. Right now, I can't port everything to Rust, because each platform has its advantages. Rust is still missing a lot of libs that exist in NPM and Maven, so it makes it difficult.

I've been exploring exposing some functions that exist in Java/Kotlin through gRPC (as everything runs on the same network anyways) until it's available on Rust.

I hope to blog about my experiences in the coming days/weeks.

Of the libs that are missing in Rust, which one would you find the most useful? I'm looking for project ideas to get stuck into.. :)

It's largely geospatial tools, which urschrei commented on above. Others are abstract, for example I use https://ignite.apache.org (I know I could use Redis), and that's one of the things tying me into the JVM. I use Apache Ignite as a distributed cache thingy.

I really want something in rust that can read orc files from hdfs and write them to some other database using jdbc or odbc. It's difficult though. So many technologies there from the Java world :(

Could you link to your blog, please? I'd like to read about that when you do end up writing about the experience.

I assume its [0] as can be found in his profile. Too bad it is throwing an error right now.

It is, I didn't see that it's down. Just finished writing my last exam, so I'll have time to get it back up and running
