Overview
rust_core is a pure Dart library that brings Rust-inspired patterns to Dart, offering types like Result, Option, Cell, Slice, Array, and Iterator. It enables functional programming paradigms and robust error handling, mirroring Rust’s safety and expressiveness. Designed for developers familiar with Rust, it enhances code clarity and reliability across platforms. The package supports Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux, making it ideal for cross-platform applications that benefit from structured data handling and safe computation.
