Rust in KDE
Communication
Matrix: https://go.kde.org/matrix/#/#kde-rust:kde.org
IRC: #kde-rust on Libera Chat
KDE projects that use Rust
Ikona — an icon preview utility for KDE Plasma
Repo: https://invent.kde.org/sdk/ikona
Angelfish — Mobile-friendly webbrowser
Rust code is used in the ad blocker.
Repo: https://invent.kde.org/plasma-mobile/angelfish
KDE tools for Rust
Rust Qt Binding Generator
To use Rust code from Qt and QML code
Repo: https://invent.kde.org/sdk/rust-qt-binding-generator
Kate LSP Plugin
Rust Language Server can be used in Kate via the LSP plugin.
Repo: https://invent.kde.org/kde/kate/-/tree/master/addons%2Flspclient
KDevelop Rust Language Support Plugin (unmaintained)
To work on Rust code & projects in KDevelop.
Repo: https://invent.kde.org/unmaintained/kdev-rust
KDevelop Cargo Support Plugin (unmaintained)
To manage, build and run Rust packages (crates) with Cargo.
Repo: https://invent.kde.org/unmaintained/kdev-cargo
Ideas to use Rust
Dbus daemons that could be implemented in Rust and are self-contained :
- solid
- baloo
- kioslave
- Core of of Gui application in Qt
Documentation
Rust Bookshelf
Contains multiple knowledge bases, of which the most useful for beginners are probably The Book and Rust By Example.
