I'm a fairly experienced Rust Dev (I've been paid to write it since 2014). I've never use Tauri, but damn it looks complicated.
If your goal is learning rust, I'd suggest learning on something simpler. Avoid complicated "ecosystems", anything super macro heavy, or async in general. Go write code like you're a college freshman. Duplicate code, call
.clone()and.unwrap()with wild abandon. There's no reason to throw all the hardest parts of the language at yourself all at once.If your goal is ending up with a GUI application, I don't really have advice for you, I've never figured that out myself.
Lots of networking libs are bases on tokio. I found it super annoying.
There are more async runtimes, and imo many crates support other runtimes. it's worth getting some experience with it, anyway
