I release a new version of https://kellnr.io with some bug fixes and updated Docker images (Ubuntu 24.04 base).
Or use https://kellnr.io to host your crates. It automatically builds the corresponding docs and hosts them for you. Disclaimer: I'm the author.
The runtime is even called "common language runtime" (clr), as it is intended to support many different languages, which the jvm never was.
If that really works without any drawbacks, I hope it gets merged into Rust main.
The Windows linker needs a lib file to link a DLL. See here how it's done https://kellnr.io/blog/cross-plat-native-lib
Good idea. We could try to reach TWIR on Mastodon.
If a few big names here could possibly help. If someone from the Rust project itself or someone well known from YouTube posts here and engages in discussions, more people would be interested to join.
I advocate for that since years. We need to normalize to pay for OSS. The biggest issue I see is not that people are unwilling to pay (donate) for the software they use daily, but the the payment itself is to complicated. There is not "the one" app store for OSS that every OS uses that makes donations easy. Additionally taking care of taxes for donations is too much of a burden, so the app store needs to handle that as well. And voila: You have the Apple App store or Android Play store.
Any advantages over distrobox? Sounds very similar.
I ported the frontend for https://kellnr.io from vuex to pinia, which makes the code to hold state in the frontend much cleaner.
