(e.g. integration of Java <-> Rust services via grpc remote services?)
Corrosion is really about the IDE. Isn't what you're proposing here more a runtime library?
Well yes...ECF remote services/RSA itself is more of a runtime library...I suppose that's why it's in the EF runtime project for now.
ECF's RS/RSA impl has a provider architecture, and one of the existing providers supports grpc [1]. My understanding from the grpc community is that there is a Rust protoc/grpc component in the works (maybe already done...I haven't checked in a while). So, what this would enable is OSGi service consumers and implementations between Rust and Java, but also between other languages...Python [2], etc.
ECF also has Eclipse and bndtools-based tooling (e.g. protoc
plugins for automatic codegen [3], rs discovery and admin views,
remote service creation wizards based upon bndtools templates) and
am considering doing more wrt multi-language dynamic (remote)
services, especially for Rust...which would be a natural target
for the rust-specific tooling/ui (e.g. generating rust service
impls and/or consumers via wizards).
