Qt 6.6 and 6.7 Make QML Faster Than Ever: A New Benchmark and Analysis
My employer, KDAB, is building an excellent Rust binding for Qt: https://github.com/KDAB/cxx-qt

I like rust but want to use Qt.
You can use cxx-qt or qmetaobject-rs. Or use Slint

Build a desktop app with Qt and Rust
Rust has several Qt bindings. The most popular are Ritual, CXX-Qt, and qmetaobject. Ritual is not maintained anymore, and qmetaobject doesn't support QWidgets. So CXX-Qt is our best bet for now.

Qt bindings for Rust also exist, although I'm not sure how mature they are: https://github.com/KDAB/cxx-qt/

Build a desktop app with Qt and Rust - LogRocket Blog
We're getting closer, but you're still likely to run into missing features in CXX-Qt at this point. If you do, please report it on GitHub!

Who "owns" Rust ?
This is no longer required in CXX-Qt as of this week (https://github.com/KDAB/cxx-qt/pull/428). Next release coming soon.
-
The first issue of Rust Magazine has been published 🎉🎉
From my understanding KDAB isn't trying to "replace" Qt. They're working on cxx-qt to make using Qt and Rust together much easier.

Rust: State of GUI, December 2022 – KAS blog
I second this. I wrote an internal Qt/QML app that ran on Windows, Linux, Android, and Raspberry Pis. We had ~20 Raspberry Pi's running this app in kiosk mode. If only KDAB/cxx-qt[1] were ready there, I would have done as much as possible in rust .

crates.io now has more than 100,000 crates!
And yet C and C++ also have similar functionality. Even if the difference were measured in hundreds of milliseconds, I'd still want to trim down the set of supported formats in my projects and, guess what... the project I most have in mind is an image gallery version of miniserve where I want to statically link everything.

Looking for a way to host files.
Second this. Both Dufs or Miniserve are good lightweight options.

When using Wireguard to VPN into my home network, I cannot access local sites with their hostnames (despite the "dig" command" showing the correct addresses) but can access them fine when using the sites' IP addresses.
On a server machine I have Miniserve (a simple service to serve files from a folder over a website) running at 192.168.0.24:50090 or server.local.obfuscated.duckdns.org:50090.

Using Rust as my Backend
miniserve is an example of an app sort of like that (no SQL, but it'll do file downloads and uploads). I'm currently using it to work on something similar but for quickly throwing up image galleries.

Any Rust based forum software?
actix-web was the big name in "runs on stable Rust" for a long time and it's what I use, as well as what's used by things like miniserve, paired with Maud.
- How do you guys share files between Android & Linux ?
What are some alternatives?
When comparing cxx-qt and miniserve you can also consider the following projects:
slint - Slint is a declarative GUI toolkit to build native user interfaces for Rust, C++, or JavaScript apps.
dufs - A file server that supports static serving, uploading, searching, accessing control, webdav...
qt6ct - Qt6 Configuration Tool
warp - A super-easy, composable, web server framework for warp speeds.
crates.io - The Rust package registry
rune - An embeddable dynamic programming language for Rust.
gyroflow - Video stabilization using gyroscope data
ocis - :atom_symbol: ownCloud Infinite Scale Stack
bonsai - A library for building dynamic webapps, using Js_of_ocaml
filemanager - 📂 Web File Browser
ritual - Use C++ libraries from Rust
jelly-actix-web-starter - A starter template for actix-web projects that feels very Django-esque. Avoid the boring stuff and move faster.
