  Is the Rust backend mandatory?

    In Tauri, the rust backend is the glue between web/js and OS functions. Yet you don’t need to do any rust code, it’s delivered ready.

      If your app interfaces with the OS, like most apps would (reading a file, managing the window, etc), then you would be writing rust, no?

        Let’s say you are a webdeveloper trying to package your js app into a executable.

        Tauri makes it so that it embeds your js into a rust base, and if you need to interact with the os, you have a Tauri JS API which calls predefined rust functions embedded in the executable.

        You can literally never write rust code while using tauri.

        But they givr you the choice, since rust is faster than compiled js, you also can create rust functions which you then call from your js code.

    Of course all must rust, return to the oxide!

  Tauri doesn’t automatically make apps perform good. Easy and common pitfalls still can make it go to a crawl just like electron.
  Yaak is an example of a tauri app that performs horribly, and that can’t reach a satisfactory 30fps on modern hardware. The issue is within how tauri interacts with the js world and syncs state.
