Slint VS slint - a user suggested alternative

Will Qt support the Rust language by default? (just curiosity)
As an anecdote, the three top contributors to sixtyfps are ex-Qt people. I think it is not anecdotal that there is at least some degree of overlap and competition between Rust and C++, and that this is a market that surely The Qt Company is watching.

BeeWare – write Python, run as native everywhere
SixtyFPS (https://sixtyfps.io/) is in progress for Rust, but it is still early days. It also does not technically use a native toolkit (it uses Qt), but I believe that might be on roadmap. For traditional GUI apps, I think the lack of a table or tree widget is the most limiting for the time being. They have stated they intend to remedy that.

What are the best GUI libraries for a potentially “serious”/large project?
The most promising GUI hasn't been posted here, SixtyFPS. It's in it's early stages and not FOSS, but it's built by some ex-QT cats and has a lot of potential.

Is there a reliable and documented GUI library out there?
People have been recommending https://sixtyfps.io/ to me.

Is it worth writing a GUI toolkit in Rust?
There is already a project to make a Qt like GUI toolkit in Rust: https://sixtyfps.io/ It is really similar to Qt https://sixtyfps.io/releases/0.1.5/docs/rust/sixtyfps/index.html

Tauri – Electron alternative written in Rust
People are doing that too. https://sixtyfps.io/ is basically a Qt clone in Rust, actually developed by previous Qt developers.

I'm giving out microgrants to open source projects for the third year in a row! Brag about your projects here so I can see them, big or small!
spdlog, a pretty useful and more and more commonly used logging library for C++.\ SixtyFPS, an emerging GUI library for Rust, but you can use it in multiple languages. It uses OpenGL or Qt currently as backend (well, it's a new library and they wanted two from the get-go to make sure their abstractions are done right/well enough). They started a company this year for it too.

Why I choose Electron even when I wanted to use QT
Just so some are not aware, there's a new project called sixtyfps by some people who were in the Qt world for long. I didn't take a deep dive into it but it looks promising.

I'm trying to build a progress bar for an Iced GUI app and having a lot of trouble with it.
I am building an app using Iced that takes hashes of the files in a directory and assigns them to a profile. The problem is that I can't get the progress bar to update in real time. I've been checking out examples like this https://github.com/iced-rs/iced/tree/master/examples/download_progress. But I just can't get the progress bar to move. Is anyone available to take a look at my code and maybe show me a fix (as long as you're okay with MIT licensing your changes)?

Show HN: Halloy – A GUI Application in Rust for IRC
Holy shit this GUI framework looks good. I am a Qt fanboi, but this looks great. Normally, I skip all the "X for Rust" posts as a bunch of fanaticism. Could it really be different this time???
The feature list is really impressive: https://github.com/iced-rs/iced
Plus, here is the road map with many things already done: https://github.com/iced-rs/iced/blob/master/ROADMAP.md
Wow, wow, wow: Keep up the great work.
One of the rendering engines is Skia by Google. This library is sneaking up fast on us...
