Hello!
For context, I've been programming for about 40 years (BASIC/C/C++/Perl/shell/C#/JavaScript/SQL/etc.), but only started using Rust a couple of years ago, and nothing close to fulltime. I love the language, the tooling, the documentation, and the community. I've spent most of my professional career in the content and digital experience management industries, where "composable architecture" and SaaS are current trends.
Largely using Warp, Tokio, and LLMs, we've developed over 6,000 lines of code for a proof of concept of an open source project around what we're calling an Enterprise Orchestration Engine:
Personally, I can't believe what we have achieved with volunteers (largely myself) in just over a month.
I wonder if there is anyone here that would like to contribute in any way, whether by taking a look at what we've done and making suggestions, slacking out with us, attending online team meetings (totally optional and casual, friendly team), contributing code, or otherwise. We know that we don't really know what we're doing with Rust, and that we have a ton of work to do (including a complete rewrite of what we have). We want to get on the right track sooner than later, especially for that rewrite.
The plans are much bigger than what is visible on the blog, but the current project state and code history is a little embarrassing and won't go to production, so the code is not public. We do have revenue goals around services, but the software must always be free. I'd be glad to share it if someone really has an interest.
If this is not an appropriate approach, then I'd like to ask some specific questions here, but I was kinda hoping that someone with more knowledge and experience with Rust would join us at a higher level.
Thanks for reading!
