Embedding into binary

[bencleary]

Is there a way to embed a NATS server into a rust application, i know this can be done with Go and just wondering if this was possible using Rust also?

NATS server is written in Go, and you cannot embed it in Rust.
You can run the NATS server from within the Rust application like our tests do (that's the purpose nats-server crate), but that's just spawning a child process.

would calling the NATS Go embedding library from Rust via FFI work?

[Jarema]

No don't think so. You need full Go runtime to allow server to work. Not to mention the complexity of the FFI part.
