2 months ago I am sure that Rust has already good chess support -- but I was not aware of this project.
But generally I am not really interested in computer chess that much.
I ported my salewski-chess to Rust as a tiny exercise -- my larger project https://github.com/StefanSalewski/SDT would be much more effort to port unfortunately.
I have still to learn a lot about Rust, and still I am not sure if I will really seriously continue using Rust. Julia and Mojo are options too, perhaps even Kotlin or Zig. Rust is the most difficult, so I think it is a good idea to learn it now, than the other languages will appear easy. But perhaps Rust is just good enough. I recently heard that MicroSoft and Google are using Rust now also, and soon we should get the fine Xilem GUI, which might further increase the Rust popularity.

[ this is not real Issue, it just gives some info and poses questions about Rust chess programming ]
hi, i just found Liberty-Chess, see https://github.com/Mathmagician8191/Liberty-Chess , a complete chess application in Rust, with own GUI and even sound .. compiling on Linux went flawless .. it comes with the engine Oxidation (v0.6.2 now) which is UCI about 2200 ELO .. it has good code i guess, and uses a lot of modules, i've never seen that many .. also some specific chess / UCI related stuff .. maybe you'll get inspired or even contact the author for questions ?!
happy programming ! (i might dive into Rust myself, it seems nice..)
