As I know, Thift is trying to drop the Rust support because no contributor worked on the failed Rust CI for a long time. They are going drop it in 0.24.0. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5917 If some rust programers can fix the problems, they may change the dropping plan.
BTW, the Rust Thrift is missing a lot of features such as the TLS support...
