This is huge for Rust. With Microsoft Windows SDK and now with this, Rust is starting to get first party support on platforms.

More so than language syntax, the driver of adoption of a language is ecosystem. Rust is rapidly building up a very impressive ecosystem around it.

As good as rusoto is, an official SDK is a huge step forward. Many were wondering how AWS could be "commited to Rust" but not provide an official SDK, this looks great!

Looking to be runtime agnostic from the start is a good sign, although it can be challenging in async rust's current state. It looks like they aren't tied into much async IO, so it should be relatively easy for this library.

The Rust community opened an issue on their tracker [0] - it seems that they are not working on one right now:

> Greetings folks! I work on the team that builds the Cloud Client Libraries. Per the last comment - I can absolutely share that we're not actively working on a Rust SDK right now, and we have no immediate plans to start. We completely understand this would be useful, and we'd love to go build it. However, we're focusing all of our energies on Java, Go, Node.js, Python, C#, Ruby, PHP, and C++ at the moment. If you're looking to build something, I'd be happy to bounce ideas with you!

For now, we have https://github.com/Byron/google-apis-rs.

Yes. It might not be "a huge step forward" in tech terms, but it would be definitely very positive for wider adoption, especially from "enterprises" where all is based on "standards".

Rusoto is awesome, but looked to have an uncertain future. I hope the new SDK can reach the same level of quality and breadth fairly quickly.

Also, rusoto is a great name and I hope we get to keep it.

Now they need an official Jetbrains IDE and we'll know Rust has made it.

It's basically already here (in the form of a plugin): https://www.jetbrains.com/rust/ I've been enjoying it quite a bit.

I believe Jetbrains have stated that there would need to be more value to create a whole new product.

Using the plugin with CLion feels very well integrated, and I’m not sure what else we’d get out of a seperate IDE other than more distinct branding.
