Curious about how other enterprise businesses have adopted Rust? Do you have specific questions about Rust you want to ask an expert? 

Stuart Harris

Meet Stu

Stu is our Chief Scientist and co-founder; a polyglot software engineer and architect with more than 35 years experience. He has been building enterprise software with Rust and embedding it within our clients for over 5 years. Stu is an evangelist of Rust, believing its benefits as a great answer to the kinds of challenges that large enterprises struggle with.

Challenges related to:

  • Costs and sustainability of running and maintaining software
  • Security and reliability
  • Scalability and performance
  • Innovation and attracting talent
  • Improving speed to market

In 2023 he was invited to speak at multiple global events, including Rust Nation in London and Rust Global (at WasmCon) in Seattle, alongside frequent appearances at international Rust meetups. 

He is an author of the open source, multi-platform app development framework Crux, which uses Rust, WebAssembly and strong architectural patterns to simplify app development across iOS, Android and Web.

Introducing CRUX

An open-source framework to help you write native User Interface applications for Mobile, Web, Desktop and beyond, faster and with fewer bugs — by sharing your application’s behaviour as a single and easy-to-test Rust core that you can reuse with confidence on every platform.

Most apps need to be built three times – once for iOS (hopefully in Swift), once for Android (hopefully in Kotlin), once for web (hopefully in TypeScript) – with no code reuse, no saving of effort, and no learning from issues. Clearly, there’s no economy in doing the same thing three or more times, and so the industry has been on a years-long hunt for a way of sharing effort and reusing code — a way of building apps just once.

But a good solution to this problem seems to forever elude us. Maybe we’re trying to answer the wrong question...?

We have a number of options that we can use today; React Native (but probably have to think about the Web separately); Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile (KMM), or Flutter (with Dart); Or we can go hybrid and use something like Capacitor with Ionic.

None of these are bad choices, but they all have significant downsides. We think we can do better than that — mostly by deciding which bits are worth sharing and which bits are not.
