How to write a QML effect for KWin
The organization behind QT (QT Group) has pretty onerous licensing terms.
My understanding is that it's $3,950 per year just to develop using their libraries on your own computer if you ever in the future intend to commercialize a product using QT. Transitioning from the open source license to the commercial license is something you can do but it's not the happy path and their FAQ seems to indicate that it comes with some sort of penalty.
https://www.qt.io/pricing
Something like Slint (Rust based but includes CPP and JS bindings) is not as comprehensive (yet) but it's more modern and the licensing terms are significantly more in line with software industry norms.
GPUI from Zed is also something to monitor: https://www.gpui.rs/
Also, in general you can find an extensive list of Rust-based native UI libraries here: https://areweguiyet.com/

The KDE desktop gets an overhaul with Plasma 6
I would suggest that nearly every person on this website is a developer. Both C and C++ let you shoot yourself in the foot quite easily, but at least C++ has RAII.
If you're referring to Rust, it's just not there yet for anything serious: https://areweguiyet.com/

Ask HN: Rust Viable for Data Analytics?
I normally use python to do some quick data analysis, with pandas/polars/pyspark/...
But I've started to use rust more and more in the last few weeks and really start to like it.
Does anyone have experience doing data analysis with rust, and would you recommend it over python?
And are there any resources like https://areweguiyet.com/ but for data analysis?

On inheritance and why it's good Rust doesn't have it
You still haven't said anything about why those existing frameworks don't count. Again, they are used in production and do exactly what a gui framework is supposed to do. Sure they may not have all the features of the frameworks that have existed a decade before rust even existed but the issue is time not rust itself. They very clearly can be used to build complex UI without inheritance. Since you mentioned it, you should probably actually look at it https://areweguiyet.com/ the page clearly says that GUI frameworks do exist in rust.

BeeWare Toga v0.4.0 – A Python native, OS native GUI toolkit
The web site https://areweguiyet.com/ has a list of GUI libraries for Rust.
I haven’t tried any yet as I lack the time, but it can be a good starting point.
Iced and Slint where interesting when I looked at that, and Slint may be done by former Qt developers.

When are we going to have smooth animations ?
I wish that was true, but even the new stuff, like their new frameworks, performs poorly while their older frameworks perform really well. That's brand new code, with no legacy codebase to care for.

WinUI Unpackaged --- What am I missing?
The reason why I don't recommend Winui is the million bugs it has. See the github issues page. All Microsoft ui stuff sucks currently. But if you use WPF why not FluentWPF

For the past year and a half I've been working on Wintoys, an app that let's you experience Windows in your way and keep it fresh everyday while having everything you need in one place
Development for WinAppSdk and WinUI 3 is also very slow and Microsoft seems to not want to push it and invest more developers into it for some reason. They try to improve the framework, is just it's a small team. For example it was a headacke to apply the Mica backgrop and required unmanaged code, they made it simpler and reduced it to a line of code but it took months. I have 2 out of 7 issues fixed on WinAppSdk repository and 0 out of 8 issues fixed in the WinUI 3 repository (some of the older than a year). This are just my issues, there are many other opened by other developers. So yeah, it wasn't fun at all. PoweshellSDK had an issue with the Import-Module command and it wasn't fixed for more than a year and probably won't be ever fixed, but I'm glad I found a workaround, even more clean and more safe, otherwise I couldn't have added the posibility to uninstall and change Store apps.

Build 23451 includes a better implementation of improved File Explorer tab dragging (you can drag tabs out to create a new window or drag between windows) - still a bit buggy but nice to see anyway!
Compared to UWP or WPF, WinUI 3 is somewhere between 100-200% slower and consumes 7-20 times as much RAM as the old frameworks (for certain operations).
What are some alternatives?
