Future plans and current status for the sdk?

[ansrivas]

Hi team,
thank you for starting the work on the rust implementation.

Is there any plan to develop the rust-implementation further? ( or in general if there is any contribution document or features being developed currently etc. which can be followed )

Hi, @ansrivas!
For a bit of context, we initially started this project while most of the team was learning Rust, and then we switched focus on driving the reference implementations for CNAB further - and I agree that we should give the Rust implementation some attention in at least bringing it in sync with the current spec(s) - and so, the first work items include:

• updating the bundle struct to conform with the spec.
• updating the claims implementation to conform with the claims spec - New features in Claims specification require changes here #30
• adding support for canonical JSON (we could use a canonical JSON implementation in Rust I started while back, or an OLPC canonical JSON formatter for Serde)

What would be your main expectation from this library? (i.e. manipulating and constructing / deserializing bundles vs. running bundles with Docker / Kubernetes)?

Regardless, there should be a clear document describing how to get started contributing (#17 - which I will update).

Thanks!

Hi @radu-matei
Thank you for your response.

I recently started with CNAB ( porter in particular ), in my case the standard use case: I'd like to package a complete application and publish it to Marketplace.
There were two main reasons for my question:

• As you already stated ability to run bundles with Docker/Kubernetes/( May be Hashicorp-Nomad ?) in a more programmatic way ( thinking pulumi vs terraform here, please correct me if I am wrong )
• Rust because I am in general enthusiastic about the rust ecosystem so if this is available it will be easy to build something on top of it
