@Rin3d @protonprivacy We use it as the cross-platform foundation for our apps (and I'm told the backend and storage teams are also looking into using Rust).

So basically, we write our business logic in Rust and compile it to #WebAssembly (#Wasm) for the web, and to a shared object for loading into #Kotlin for #Android and a static library for use in #Swift for #iOS. We also have #Windows desktop clients to eventually support.

It's basically the age-old dream of write once, run everywhere 😄

@mgeisler Given that the backend(s) of the Proton apps are closed source, can you shed any light on the languages or frameworks they’re built with?

If I’m not mistaken, I recall seeing a few people wearing #Proton shirts at #SymfonyCon Vienna last year. So I suppose at least some parts are written with #Symfony and #PHP? :)

@DominicLuidold Yes, that is correct! You can even see it on some of our job postings, such as this one: https://grnh.se/rbyfwf02teu.

I joined very recently and from what I hear, #PHP has been with Proton since the very beginning. The backend team is experimenting with adding some Rust here and there.
