Is this an opening of a mature project that has been coded in private somewhere? Is this just a code drop on the community?

Note: this comes from a developer in Japan. Tantivy's main developer is also based in Japan. @fulmicoton, is there any interaction between the projects?

Not all projects are birthed in public. It may have been extracted from a larger private project which may have issues sharing its exact history of development.

The creator of Bayard is apparently the co-created of Solr.

Bayard looks like a search-in-rust PoC.

I met the author of Bayard a couple of times and had beers with him. Does that count as interactions?

Neat. :)

I was looking at Raspberry Pi projects for Rust. There were similar complaints on the Pi forum. Looks I’ll be using Python for my projects.

Because...

Libraries weren’t maintained or in a state of development for months without regular commits. Statements like “sometimes this doesn’t work” or commits that totally redesigned an api. Meaning you have to rewrite your code.

I need stability and some maturity in personal projects due to time constraints. Not a jab at Rust, I’m still in wait and watch mode. Looking to learn a low level language in the next year and Rust is my top choice.

Lots of downvotes but no replies. Rust is the language de jour on HN at the moment. Lots of comments about it being a young language so you’ll just have to wait.

I invite a healthy debate.

If you are looking for a platform for the RPi, check out the nerves project.
