relm VS flutter_rust_bridge

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.

Currently, I have narrowed potential libraries to: 1. Flutter 2. FLTK 3. Relm (GTK) 4. iced 5. Slint 6. Imgui, Imgui-rs 7. and gtk-rs

Relm (GTK)

Relm, Slint (formerly SixtyFPS), Druid and Iced are all very promising idiomatic GUI toolkits with a great deal of community activity around them, and all of those perform substantially better in the accessibility department than ImGui and egui, to my knowledge. areweguiyet.com can give you some more pointers as well.

To use relm, you need to add the gtk and relm libraries to your project's dependencies in your Cargo.toml file. You’ll also need to have the gtk library installed.

No , not really a lot of the time people are trying to tackle problems that have taken years to solve in other languages which isn’t easy and is why you see stuff abandoned. This project is also pretty similar to [relm](https://github.com/antoyo/relm) which is an active project.

The [older gtk3 version of relm](https://github.com/antoyo/relm) has 2.1k stars. Relm4 is uses gtk4 which is newer.

Relm (supposedly more idiomatic)

Use some sort of executable file, like webassembly. I've seen extism which is really cool. Though theres no dart port for it or a dart package, i think something could be done via flutter_rust_brige. This will allow people to use the languages supported via extism (js, go, rust, zig, cpp etc) to their full potential and have the language's ecosystem available and they can just compile the plugin to a wasm file and use it in the app. Downsides would be ig using that rust package in dart since flutter_rust_bridge does have some amount of complexity. And that for example, two plugins both written in say for example js, depend on some sort of http package, and both plugins load the same package twice in their respective wasm files. ig plugin files would be more larger in the end.

Not a Flutter Dev, but have you tried 'flutter_rust_bridge' [0]. Seems provide some interop between flutter and rust and looks like a popular and active project. I'm native mobile dev and just curious about this kind of interop myself. If it's seamless then looks like good balance to do mobile front-end in flutter and mobile backend in rust.

This template is primarily built using the flutter_rust_bridge library. It also incorporates several popular packages and modifications into the default Flutter template, ensuring optimal development process. It has been designed with future scalability and performance in mind.

If you want example code, the flutter_rust_bridge uses a webworker pool with shared memory on the web to multithread the execution.

There's also the thing that flutter_rust_bridge is currently broken for web development. I have a PR open, but it's running into weird issues with the CI and so can't be merged.

For reference, https://github.com/fzyzcjy/flutter_rust_bridge. And dart is a really nice language too, my only real gripe is that I'm no longer used to [type] [variable] over [variable]: [type]

It appears that this is indeed what was happening. The issue has now been fixed in the template.
