Plugins in Rust: Reducing the Pain with Dependencies

The last article of this series covered how the plugin system could be implemented from scratch. This is a lot of work if you’re dealing with a relatively large codebase and therefore a complex interface in your plugin system, so let’s see how we can make our lives easier.

But we aren’t really locked to that crate, so I’ll show other alternatives as well, which can even be combined to your liking.
