Re: [Gimp-gui] Rust Support and Suggestions

Hi Jehan,

Your reply was fast. 🙂

Regarding Gimp, the suggestions could inspire it to considering:

• Allowing Rust extensions.
• Making a Wasm version for browsers, even though I don't expect this to be easy.
  

After thinking, I think I might have been against C, so you don't need to take it seriously. Also, I'm not a Gimp developer.

Sincerely,

Sherif Ali.

Hi Sherif,

Why is GIMP mailing list in Cc? Was it a mistake?

Also your email got stuck because you are apparently not subscribed to
the mailing list. I still let the email pass through because it is
obviously not a spam. Yet it seems totally off-topic with GIMP. Not sure
I'll let other unsubscribed message go through, unless you also tell us
how it has any relationship with us. :-)
