Rust for plugin dev instead of python

[alexzander]

hello.

is it possible to write rust code for sublime plugins ?

i see that sublime has an exposed api to call from python.

it would be cool to achieve the same thing in rust.

thanks.

Unlikely. Similar reasons to C++ I guess. There was someone suggest Julia as well iirc.

You can call rust code from python using ffi, or write a python library in Rust using the CPython API. Otherwise we only support python for plugins.
