Azure CTO: “It's time to halt starting any new projects in C/C++ ”
Most GUI apps don't need what Qt provides though. They mostly need stability and cross-platform support, so ... they should start with something like Tauri or Sciter, and if there is something they need natively they will be in a much better situation to pick their poison.

Do you think the Rust is production ready for GUI in 2021?
I seriously advise against using rust-sciter. It uses a lot of unsafe code, some of which is invalid and directly causes Undefined Behavior; see for example issue #114. rust-sciter's author doesn't seem to have any interest in fixing those. Besides, the code is highly unidomatic and looks like it's been written to resemble C++ – this is in itself not wrong, but always a red flag.

I prefer Boscop/web-view since it's much less effort to get up and running for use with developing an application written in Rust.
