I am begging people to not write Ruby extensions in Rust. If you want to use a Rust library from Ruby, only ever use it as a shared library with C code to glue them together.

@tenderlove From the reply discussion I can see (mastodon… who knows which fraction I'm seeing?), you're advocating using C glue, and learning and accounting for all the weird Ruby interop wrinkles there. Is that easier than learning and accounting for all the weird Ruby interop wrinkles at the Rust level?
