Hey all!

I'd like to officially announce the Rust Working Group at the Academy Software Foundation. You can see the official blog post here: Academy Software Foundation Announces Formation of Rust Working Group, Initial Release of OpenEXR Rust Binding - ASWF

The group is designed to create a framework to allow developers interested in creating Rust bindings for C and C++ libraries used in the media industry. Also as a byproduct, to also create (at least some) of those bindings. Our first crate released is https://crates.io/crates/openexr and we're currently wrapping that up, while starting to work on OpenImageIO, Ptex, and USD.

You can join us via our GitHub organization vfx-rs · GitHub, or via the ASWF slack https://slack.aswf.io/ under the #rust channel.

Also, we host a bi-weekly meeting to discuss the status of the bindings on Fridays at 1 pm Pacific Time. You can see the calendar here: wg-rust@lists.aswf.io | Calendar

Lastly, please feel free to send any and all questions over. We're really excited to get this far, and we hope that eventually we'll see more Rust at studios.
