You can make an app with Tauri without writing a single line of Rust though. Tauri lets you trigger most native functionality you might need from the JavaScript side. If that’s enough for what you are building then you don’t need to write any Rust. You could use a Rust web framework that compiles to WebAssembly, but you could also just use React or Svelte or whatever else.
Same. I wanted to make video games… until I found out how terrible the working conditions and pay are.
