As a web developer I haven't found any reason to use Rust yet but I have delved into it recently and I really love the language despite it being frustrating at times. Hoping Lambda supports Rust natively at some point so I can actually use it!

There's been a ton of people trying out Rust on Lambda, though obviously support directly from upstream would be helpful.

(an aws employee, but just as in the dark as you are)

It'll be interesting to see how the golang lambda implementation is done, as i could see it being a backdoor into supporting any statically linked binary so long as it fits whatever constraints they need.

I think you can wrap your rust/golang binary into a javascript package and run it on Lambda.

That's already possible - Apex[0] provides a shim for running golang and Rust, and I'm running headless chrome on Lambda to take screenshots right now (see [1] for an example).
