Add inter-op between rust and android native, also for rust and iOS native

[wentao]

Hi

It's great to learn this repo is doing something I've thinking about for a long time. I'd like to ask if the maintainers are interested to expand the inter-op support into

• between rust and native Android or iOS code, namely java/kt/swift

Hi :) Sorry for the late reply.

By inter-op support, do you mean message passing between:

• Java ↔ Rust
• Kotlin ↔ Rust
• Swift ↔ Rust

or something else? Any clarifcation on the design would help move the discussion forward.

Also, I'd like to share that Rinf will use #[derive()]-based messaging between Dart and Rust in the next version (possibly 8) instead of Protobuf, currently being developed in #527 .

If this description about the design above is correct, then multi-language messaging support would be technically possible in Rinf version 8. We would need dedicated maintainers for that part though.

Yes, exactly. Also it's great to hear you are planning to use derive in the next version. Looking forward to it!

We have to come up with some design decisions:

• DartSignal: Dart to Rust
• RustSignal Rust to Dart

What names should we give to signals between other types of messages? In addition, may I ask you if you are open to contributions?

I don't think I have the expertise or time to contribute to this project. Would love to provide developer feedback when you have some design ideas to share.
