arewewebyet VS slint

I opened two issues hoping to address this: - rust-lang.org - arewewebyet.org (This website is also owned by the Rust project, which I didn't know before.)

Ignoring the obvious lightheartedness of this answer, I want to point out the hazard of such sites. Take https://www.arewewebyet.org/: it claims “yes” with effusive epithets, making various claims that are objectively false (everything and more, mature). Despite pointing out the problems with the claims two years ago, only one of the more incontrovertibly false aspects was tempered, and all of the rest of the very misleading and false claims are still made. This is harmful for the ecosystem, because it gets people in under false pretences, and embitters them when they realise they never have believed the gushing exclamation marks and promises from a website that looked officialish.

Did you get a chance to check https://slint.dev?

Disclaimer: I work for Slint

Currently, we do it by using binaries through napi-rs so we can bring in a window using the platform native API. And then we do some hack to merge the event loops.

But if Deno supports bringing up a window directly, this means we can just ship wasm instead of native binary for all platform. And also I hope event loop integration will be simplified.

Although we'd also need more API than just showing a window (mouse and keyboard input, accessibility, popup window, system tray, ...)

Thanks for reporting the broken link. Fixed in https://github.com/slint-ui/slint/commit/9200480b532f49007d2...

With Slint (https://slint.dev) we're trying to make a lightweight toolkit that doesn't use HTML/CSS. And that you can program either from low level languages such as C++ or Rust. As well as with higher level language such as JavaScript, and we want to extend to python too.

I haven't. I was just searching for a GUI library that was Bevy-compatible and slint isn't at the moment: https://github.com/slint-ui/slint/discussions/940

Sorry!

Trying to do that with Slint: https://slint.dev

You can do that with Slint (https://slint.dev) and its linuxkms backend. No need for a xorg server or wayland compositor, just run the application made with Slint from the init script.
