I thought this might interest you Rust folk. This is kinda like an LLVM bitcode to JVM bytecode translator. So run rustc with --emit=llvm-ir (I think that’s the flag) and then pass the bitcode image to this program, then get JVM bytecode which you can make a JVM bytecode archive (JAR) from it. Could be an interesting? The author says it can JVM code from Clang output, so why not Rustc?
Keep in mind that these are two different beasts, JVM is designed for a safe virtual machine and LLVM is chiefly used to be translated into machine code. However, stupider and more wonderful things have been done with LLVM and JVM, for example, there’s an LLVM to 6502 translator, so you could be making NES games with Rust.
I will test this in a few days, busy implementing my own JVM (hope I can do it) and I don’t have the Rust toolchain installed on my system. But hey maybe someone can make a Cargo plugin from it (is it possible?)
Thanks, later.
Yeah, OK. You’ve already made up your mind on the issue. There’s no need to continue the discussion.

No, I’m serious. Why would you ever do that? What features are available to the Java version of the Android API that aren’t available via the NDK? And if those features exist, why is writing the portions of your app that depend on those features in Kotlin and the rest in Rust infeasible?
