For those who haven't heard, Astropad allows illustrators, artists and animators to turn their existing iPad into a professional graphics tablet for macOS.

Choosing Rust to meet the cross-platform requirements for Astropad is a great choice and a interesting one. I have read the previous article [0] on how Astropad was unfortunately Sherlocked by Apple [1] in the Catalina + iPadOS Sidecar feature and given that Astropad works only on macOS, it makes sense to become cross-platform to bring Astropad onto platforms like Windows or Linux since Apple only cares about its walled-garden. So I'm very happy to see Astropad take this move into trying Rust.
