Cosmic Alpha Released
Based on [1] it looks like System76 does actually think about accessibility, but it's not upstreamed yet.

Cosmic: A New Desktop Environment
AFAICT the "big deal" here is using a rust-native toolkit, iced[0], rather than just slapping together another reskinned gtk-based solution like most similar submissions do.
So this is potentially a really cool thing, not just somebody tinkering with UI elements.

Building Zerocalc, part V - Iced UI, subscriptions, and code release!
In the last part of the series, we will build a simple UI for Zerocalc. We will use the Iced GUI library as it has a very nice API and very poor documentation which is a great opportunity to dig into its internals...

I am not yet ready to switch to Zig from Rust
It's not actually a limitation, the ecosystem is just young:
https://github.com/iced-rs/iced
My general point though is that there's still some ecosystem/legacy reasons to stick with C++, but Rust very much fills the same niches as C++.

Show HN: Castiron – Simple podcast player in Rust
Hi all!
Castiron is a super simple podcast player/manager I am building to learn Rust. It uses the iced [https://iced.rs/] GUI library.
Currently the feature set is pretty slim, but you can:

Plotting with GTK4

Looking for any crates to help me migrate my current workflow to Rust.
I would also look at plotters https://github.com/plotters-rs/plotters to replace mathplotlib. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any library for image transformations/augmentations.

Iced, a cross-platform GUI library — New release featuring stabilization of stateless widgets, first-class theming, widget operations, lazy widget, and more!
Have you looked into plotters https://github.com/plotters-rs/plotters ? I think it should be possible to integrate it into an app.
- By the way, plotters has an ab_glyph feature now

2D library with decent text rendering / measuring support
I'd recommend plotters, I've only used it for it's drawing api and I found it quite nice for text rendering.

Discussion: Integrating polars and plotters
For those who do not know about them, polars is a data frame crate for Rust and Python. It is also the fastest data frame library, according to benchmarks. Plotters is a crate for data visualisation. Both are the equivalents of pandas and matplotlib from the Python ecosystem. However, the integration with matplotlib in pandas has no equivalent. I would like to propose an effort to integrate polars with plotters, either by modifying the existing codebases, or creating a new bridge crate. I would love to hear opinions about this from the widder community.
- What libraries do you miss from other languages?
What are some alternatives?
When comparing iced and plotters you can also consider the following projects:
egui - egui: an easy-to-use immediate mode GUI in Rust that runs on both web and native
plotly.rs - Plotly for Rust
slint - Slint is an open-source declarative GUI toolkit to build native user interfaces for Rust, C++, JavaScript, or Python apps.
crates.io - The Rust package registry
tauri - Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop and mobile applications with a web frontend.
cross - “Zero setup” cross compilation and “cross testing” of Rust crates
