Interesting! IIUC this is done using source-to-source translation? It is a bit hard to understand from the docs what technical approach is. The docs are clearly aimed at users and I find them impressive, well done. I'd be interested in knowing the approach and how it compares to wasm based Rust web frameworks before diving more deeply into it.

One advantage of combining Rust with Flutter seems to be that Flutter is a whole framework already and one would be able to share code and data structures between server and client side.

A comparison with other ways Rust

Thanks! Shortly speaking, the Rust code is parsed (e.g. "here is a function and there is a struct"), and then some Rust and Flutter code are generated. As for comparison, some pros and cons are discussed in the blog.
