Top 6 Rust .NET Projects
-
extism
The framework for building with WebAssembly (wasm). Easily load wasm modules, move data, call functions, and build extensible apps.
-
rustc_codegen_clr
This rust compiler backend(module) emmits valid CIL (.NET IR), enabling you to use Rust in .NET projects.
-

-
wrapped_mono
Wrapper around mono library. Allows easy loading and interop between code written for the .NET framework and Rust.
-
dr-dotnet
🩺 One-click diagnosis of your dotnet applications. Works both locally or remotely as a web service. Based on the lowest level dotnet profiling APIs and using the rust language 🦀 for a minimal runtime penalty.
-
ffidji
🐶 FFIDJI is a tool to automatically generate bindings between languages, like calling Rust code from C# for instance.

I don't have something that could be of Crafting Interpreters level on hand, but the general suggestion given to this question on DotNetEvolution discord by Roslyn team members was to start with the spec itself: https://ecma-international.org/publications-and-standards/st...
This might be a bit of a learning curve if you don't have experience with writing compilers like that though.
There are other materials that might prove useful should you go down this path:
- A series of blog posts of a student who is writing a Rust to .NET compiler which you could follow along: https://fractalfir.github.io/generated_html/home.html The project itself: https://github.com/FractalFir/rustc_codegen_clr
- A video series on writing a compiler for .NET from scratch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgHIkdUQbp0&list=PLRAdsfhKI4... Notes: https://github.com/terrajobst/minsk/tree/master/docs
As for CLR via C#, while it has certain facts that remained the same, the ecosystem has changed a lot since then, you really want to target the latest LTS to get best experience and performance.
p.s.: if it's any consolation, the promise in CLR via C# of JIT having the advantage of dynamically profiling code execution and compiling to profile-guided version, tuned to the exact hardware and environment is finally fulfilled, many years later :)
