Hi there! I'm new to appwrite (and mobile app development in general), and I was looking to program some backend functions in C++ or Rust, which I saw templates for here. But I noticed that documentation here doesn't mention Rust support, and if I try to add the runtime with _APP_FUNCTIONS_RUNTIMES=rust-1.55, it's just ignored. Is there an intention to have the Rust runtime working in a future update soon, or is there a way to get it working from the latest version?

TL;DR
The user is asking about the availability of the Rust runtime in appwrite for backend functions. The response from support suggests that there are big changes to functions and the runtime code might need updating after version 1.4. They provide documentation on how to add a new runtime and suggest creating a feature request on GitHub for the Rust runtime. The user is directed to the open-runtimes repository to implement the runtime themselves. Solution: Create a feature request for Rust runtime support on the appwrite GitHub repository. Implement support by following the documentation in the open-runtimes repository.

You can start by creating a feature request for it: https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/issues/new/choose.

Support would need to be added by implementing a runtime here: https://github.com/open-runtimes/open-runtimes

Thanks for getting back quickly! I'll go ahead and submit a feature request, and look into how much work it would be to get the open-runtime together.

however, we're working on big changes to functions so the runtime code will probably need to be updated after 1.4
