It’s now easier than ever to build and maintain Rust libraries for React Native - and I’ll show you how.
I want to tell you the story of how we got here in the first place, motivate the benefits of Rust libraries in React Native, explain the difficulties of interoperating across native languages and show how the introduction of the NAPI binding in Hermes and the new Ferric build tool, brings the missing pieces for automatically generating performant type-safe prebuilt bindings of Rust libraries.
My ultimate goal of this talk is to inspire you to build with Rust in your next React Native project.
This talk has been presented at React Summit 2025, check out the latest edition of this React Conference.
