[paho-dev] Paho MQTT Rust Language Library

[Frank Pagliughi <fpagliughi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey All,

I've started uploading some code for a new Paho Rust Language library at:
    https://github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt.rust

The code is initially going into an "incubator" branch to indicate that 
it is highly unstable and will be changing quickly over the next few 
weeks. It's a wrapper around the Paho C library, and the first version 
will target the Paho 1.3 release for MQTT v3.1 and 3.1.1.

It's very early days, but the library can connect (via TCP or SSL/TLS), 
publish, subscribe, and disconnect cleanly using an asynchronous 
interface. I'm currently developing on Linux x86_64, but other platforms 
that are supported by Rust and Paho C should be relatively 
straightforward. At this point, the library sorely lacks error handling, 
documentation, and stability.

I'm hoping to stabilize the API by the end of the year and release in 
early 2018.

I'm a relative newcomer to Rust (as, apparently, are 97% or Rust users), 
so am hoping to get advice and guidance on the API from others having 
more experience with the language. But I also hope to keep it familiar 
to existing Paho users.

So far, I'm fairly impressed with Rust. It looks like an interesting 
language for some MQTT programming. Fast and safe.
