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.

I like rust but want to use Qt.
Qt classic/widgets? I'm developing Kas to offer vaguely similar features (e.g. data models, theme abstraction, custom widgets with complex event handling), though said event handling and data models are quite different. It's still got a long way to go (so API is not stable), but in case you are interested, I should be dropping a new release tomorrow.

Does a wgpu text renderer exist for Android?
kas-wgpu looks hopeful, but there's very little information about it and I'm not even sure it works on Android.

KAS GUI v0.10
Changelog
-
KAS GUI v0.9
The next release will support dynamic linking which approx. halves the recompile time in my quick tests. This is based on Bevy which also recommends using LLD (see here); I didn't have much success with this yet however.

Cross platform native guis in rust
If you want a "native-like" toolkit like Qt but Rust-native, then Druid, KAS and Iced are the most advanced in my opinion (though all are incomplete).
-
KAS GUI v0.7 release
Yes. It was actually a mistake (using a nightly compiler and not realising the lock-in). But in this case (with KAS still in "earlyish development" and the workaround being less concise), I decided to leave it.

Type conversion, success expected
This is a little library I've been using recently (original version here).

What can rust do
For GUI applications, the story is mixed. There are several GUI frameworks in active development, but nothing as polished and battle-tested as Electron for TypeScript. There are bindings to GTK, but they're cumbersome to work with, and I wouldn't recommend it to a Rust newbie. There's also Tauri, which is a bit like Electron and lets you write the GUI in HTML/CSS/JS and the business logic in Rust.
-
Do Rust and Lua work well together?
Concerning GUI frameworks, the most common ones are druid, egui and iced. All three of them run native and on the Web.
-
What was the hardest coming from C++ to Rust?
Going to give a shoutout to druid. I've recently tried it with the Lapce editor and it's just so smooth, fast and works so well for a pre-alpha app.
-
What GUI libs are out there and good to use?
As iced and egui were difficult for me, i started with druid.
-
Rust GUI framework
There is Iced which is used by system76 in Pop!_OS, Druid [DISCONTINUED], GTK-rs, Relm, Azul and Tauri. Personally I would use Tauri for its speed using the OS's native web render, documentation of use with things such as Sveltekit and the ability to make UI's using JS, CSS and HTML. Tauri similarly to Electron whilst being far faster. But its up to personal preference really. There aren't any solid "go to" options at the moment.
-
What do people use for simple UI projects?
Druid should be good for most cases, it has a lot of built-in widget for the UI, you can even make a custom widget with a canvas-alike painting API.

Druid, a Rust-native UI toolkit, released v0.8 after two years of work by 80 contributors.
Druid, which is a Rust-native UI toolkit for building desktop applications targeting Windows/macOS/Linux/OpenBSD/FreeBSD, has a new version out - v0.8.

Ergonomic APIs for hard problems (RustLab 2022 keynote)
There's a memoize View node in the previous iteration of the Xilem prototype, but it hasn't made it in to the current branch yet. That sounds like what you're asking, but it's possible I'm missing something.

Dioxus: User interfaces that run anywhere
You can use GTK from Rust. But the Rust native ones aren't really there yet. [Iced](https://github.com/iced-rs/iced) which has been picked up by System76 and [Druid](https://github.com/linebender/druid) (and it's next gen version [Xilem](https://github.com/linebender/xilem)) are the ones to watch, along with Dioxus which is the main post here.
I'd expect there to be something useable by the end of 2023.
What are some alternatives?
dungeon-crawler - A cross platform 3D dungeon crawler RPG.
iced - A cross-platform GUI library for Rust, inspired by Elm
wgpu_glyph - A fast text renderer for wgpu (https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu)
egui - egui: an easy-to-use immediate mode GUI in Rust that runs on both web and native
indiana-hash - Minimal cross-platform native GUI for hashing files
tauri - Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop applications with a web frontend.
SIMple-Mechanics - An educational physics sim for high school physics, part of the SIMple Physics project
gtk - DEPRECATED, use https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk3-rs repository instead!
vizia - A declarative GUI library written in Rust
Azul - Desktop GUI Framework
orbtk - The Rust UI-Toolkit.
Slint - Slint is a toolkit to efficiently develop fluid graphical user interfaces for any display: embedded devices and desktop applications. We support multiple programming languages, such as Rust, C++ or JavaScript. [Moved to: https://github.com/slint-ui/slint]
