The future of #GStreamer is #Rust!

Lots of hacking, questioning life choices and coffee later the #gtk-rs sys crates' source code gets all regenerated.
Simultaneously I bumped the version so they are on par with the latest release.
This is the last missing piece to get #libadwaita-rs into #Debian. Tomorrow I'll tackle #gstreamer and the rest of the crates.
#Rust #GTK #Debian

Last week we've started testing a rework of a Python+ffmpeg duo service to a pure Rust implementation.
The service is a custom logic around video processing.
The Rust code is built around gstreamer-rs bindings.
ffmpeg doing less then the custom Rust implementation consumes 1.5GB RAM and 1.15 CPU.
Our new Rust implementation consumes 133MB RAM and 0.18 CPU.
I'd say this is a huge win. I'm really glad that the effort payed back.
