RustDesk – The open source TeamViewer alternative
I'm a bit curious here.
I see that RustDesk is licensed AGPL 3.0. At the same time the GUI component (Sciter - https://www.sciter.com) is proprietary software with it's own non-compatible license (https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-sdk/blob/524a90ef7eab16575...).
Was the intention to use something like LGPL to stand on the shoulders of the external libraries or was the choice of AGPL just a hopeful goal with licensing issues to be resolved in the future?

A new open source remote desktop software written with Rust
From the license. This doesn't look complicated to me, or a reason to use a different GUI toolkit.

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.

https://github.com/sciter-sdk/rust-sciter uses Sciter

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.
