What projects *didn't* you make in Rust?
Have you seen iced-rs? It's inspired by Elm and compiles to the web as well.

Iced.rs tutorial: How to build a simple Rust frontend web app
Another thing to note is that Iced.rs is very much in early and active development. While it’s absolutely possible to build basic apps with it, the ecosystem isn’t particularly mature yet. Besides the docs and examples, at this early stage, it’s a bit rocky to get started, especially if you’re trying to build something complex.

Looking for a buddy to help with a Rust wrapper for PokeAPI
I originally had this idea to learn rust a little better by making a cross-platform pokedex with [iced](https://github.com/iced-rs/iced). I'm not sure if I will end up making that, but now I'm focused on making a wrapper for the API that can use different HTTP clients like [ureq](https://lib.rs/crates/ureq) for sync, and [reqwest](https://lib.rs/crates/reqwest) for async.

Is there an underlying reason that idiomatic Rust seems to have trouble with observers?

Oxide: A prototype IDE for Linux
Or do you prefer Rust-only toolkits ? Those are not so advanced yet, but egui and iced look promising. Also have a look at "are we gui yet"

Borderlands 3 Save Editor - A GUI save editor written in Rust using iced.
Hmm I'm not seeing similar memory usage on my Mac. I believe this could be related to iced.
Not too difficult, essentially you will need to implement two traits from iced, one to handle the rendering of the component and one to handle events i.e mouse events/keyboard events. You can use an existing component as a template and modify it to your needs.

How useful is Rust for quick prototyping++?
2- I used iced and it's nice and generally easy but the GUI ecology in rust is still in development.

Pop should join this new GTK fork
What's written in this article isn't the development of a GTK fork, but some reasoning for exploring alternatives to GTK. There aren't very many suitable candidates in this space, but Rust GUI toolkits like Iced have potential. Personally, I would add that OrbTk is also a suitable candidate.

Is Rust good for writing a web extension where performance is the priority?
One exception is egui which uses wasm/webgl rendering so it largely bypasses most/all traditional html/css/js interactions.

Recommendations for cross platform UI?

How to render text with rust?
For documentation/guidance on what implementing a text editor might look like. Egui recently release syntax highlighting support. You could either start using egui and see how it performs for you, or just use its source code as a reference. It and other UI libraries get very abstracted very quickly though. https://github.com/emilk/egui

What programming language and technology do you use?
You may want to try egui, which has full support in Bevy.
