Discord is rebuilding its whole app in the Rust programming language, dropping Electron on desktop and React Native on mobile, according to Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Stanislav Vishnevskiy.

Vishnevskiy confirmed the plan on X (formerly Twitter) on November 4th, writing that "the holy grail was getting the whole client there." He said mobile will keep its native interface but share app code with desktop through Rust, and that Discord hopes to get the new client "into testing with users soon™." He gave no release date, and Discord has not published an announcement of its own.

A day earlier, Vishnevskiy had told a user on X that the team was "busy with a much bigger update."
