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.

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.

A simple 2d graphic library
You can even check https://github.com/linebender/piet and https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia. They are pure rust libraries. Skia as a whole is a big binary to add.

Druid, a Rust-native UI toolkit, released v0.8 after two years of work by 80 contributors.
First, at the deepest level, we are moving away from Piet, which is a cross-platform 2D graphics abstraction. Under the hood it uses whatever the standard OS API is. Instead we will be using Vello which we have been building as a research project for years already. It is starting to near its v0.1, which is very exciting. Fundamentally it is a novel GPU accelerated 2D rendering engine with a strong focus on performance. It is not ready for benchmarks yet, but we're confident it will deliver. If you're curious, you can check out the Vello roadmap for 2023.

What 2D graphics library would you most recommend?
you can use piet, although that is more of an abstraction over existing, platform-dependent libraries. So not really pure rust, but definitely cross-platform.

Piet-GPU Progress: Clipping
Piet is the backend for the Druid UI framework. It is indeed cross-platform. The SVG backend looks like it would work without an OS, but I'm not sure the value of a GUI toolkit without an OS anyway :)

Looking for an image manipulation library that can add text to images. (and has documentation for it)
Piet can render text. You can use Piet_common with the BitMapTarget to generate images Here is an example.
