The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

- Cosmic Text: Pure Rust multi-line text handling

Is it conveninent to make cross-platform GUI softwares using Rust now?
But again you don't need to reinvent text layout from scratch (that's my discussion, BTW) if you use the platform's native text drawing facilities, like DirectWrite on Windows, or CoreText on macOS.

Getting a pointer to a field of an enum
All these layers of Cows create an extremely complex lifetime tree and it's actually not possible to factor out the complex parsing steps into functions because they depend on a lot of stuff. (trying to return an OutlineBuilder from a function would dangling reference about 3 different temporaries, for example. Obtaining the temporaries is part of the parsing step)

Rust's Option and Result. In Python.
machine learning, neural networks, image processing, cryptography (though it is getting better), font shaping/rendering (though it is getting better), CPU/software rendering (though it is getting better)

What's the project you're currently working on at your company as a Rust developer?
It can be used for the things you suggest but our driving use case is font parsing. The goal is to use it to generate the font parsing code in Allsorts, which is ultimately used in Prince.

Speedy2D: Easy-to-use library for graphics, text, and input events
It's something I'd like to improve on in future -- are there any pure-Rust libraries you'd recommend for shaping? Allsorts looks quite promising.

Rust GUI Development?
GTK: I have little - no experience with GTK, and from what i have read it is cross-platform similar to wxWidgets, however is an emulated UI system similar to Qt. As i have no experience with it i am not sure how well supported this library is as far as it's Rust - bindings are concerned gtk-rs

gtk-rs: can't get window ID with command inside connect_show or connect_realize
In a gtk-rs application, I'm running a xdotool command to get the id of the application's window. I'm running the command in a connect_show closure (after the window has been shown):

My (challenging) experience building a window switcher for Ubuntu
To build the UI, I used gtk-rs. My experience with this library was quite pleasant; it was easy to use and there were a lot of examples. However, it isn't as widely used as, say, React, so it was difficult to find answer on Stack Overflow (I come from a JavaScript/Typescript background).

x11rs can't access window created with gtk-rs
I'm using x11rb to interact with a window created with gtk-rs. window_id is the ID of the window created with gtk-rs. window_id_2 is the ID of the window created with x11rb (for testing purposes).

What GUI libs are out there and good to use?
I haven't used it yet, but gtk-rs looks pretty good too. I've used GTK in general, just not the Rust bindings so far. The tutorials seem nice and GTK is a good UI toolkit overall.

Adding ListBoxRow to ListBox from inside a closure
I'm using gtk-rs to add ListBoxRow items to a ListBox. The items are successfully added if I do it outside of input.connect_changed, a closure. But nothing is added if I do it from inside input.connect_changed:

gtk-ks: Join the Effort to create GTK Bindings for Kotlin!
Out there there are already some open source projects trying to do this, but most of them are abandoned or in a very alpha stage. The most promising project so far seems to me git-kt. This project is trying to do something similar to what gtk-rs does for Rust, which is using GObject Introspection (GIR) files to generate Kotlin native bindings automatically.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing allsorts and gtk-rs you can also consider the following projects:
rustybuzz - A complete harfbuzz's shaping algorithm port to Rust
iced - A cross-platform GUI library for Rust, inspired by Elm
rust-harfbuzz - Rust bindings to HarfBuzz
tauri - Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop applications with a web frontend.
pathfinder - A fast, practical GPU rasterizer for fonts and vector graphics
egui - egui: an easy-to-use immediate mode GUI in Rust that runs on both web and native
glium - Safe OpenGL wrapper for the Rust language.
fltk-rs - Rust bindings for the FLTK GUI library.
lingua-rs - The most accurate natural language detection library for Rust, suitable for short text and mixed-language text
gtk4-rs - Rust bindings of GTK 4
fontdue - The fastest font renderer in the world, written in pure rust.
Slint - Slint is a toolkit to efficiently develop fluid graphical user interfaces for any display: embedded devices and desktop applications. We support multiple programming languages, such as Rust, C++ or JavaScript. [Moved to: https://github.com/slint-ui/slint]
