Deno in 2023
Currently, we do it by using binaries through napi-rs so we can bring in a window using the platform native API. And then we do some hack to merge the event loops.
But if Deno supports bringing up a window directly, this means we can just ship wasm instead of native binary for all platform. And also I hope event loop integration will be simplified.
Although we'd also need more API than just showing a window (mouse and keyboard input, accessibility, popup window, system tray, ...)

A 2024 Plea for Lean Software
With Slint (https://slint.dev) we're trying to make a lightweight toolkit that doesn't use HTML/CSS. And that you can program either from low level languages such as C++ or Rust. As well as with higher level language such as JavaScript, and we want to extend to python too.

Immediate Mode GUI Programming
I haven't. I was just searching for a GUI library that was Bevy-compatible and slint isn't at the moment: https://github.com/slint-ui/slint/discussions/940
Sorry!

The Linux graphics stack in a nutshell, part 1
You can do that with Slint (https://slint.dev) and its linuxkms backend. No need for a xorg server or wayland compositor, just run the application made with Slint from the init script.

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.

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?
tauri - Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop applications with a web frontend.
iced - A cross-platform GUI library for Rust, inspired by Elm
egui - egui: an easy-to-use immediate mode GUI in Rust that runs on both web and native
lvgl - Embedded graphics library to create beautiful UIs for any MCU, MPU and display type.
gtk - DEPRECATED, use https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk3-rs repository instead!
dioxus - Fullstack GUI library for web, desktop, mobile, and more.
Azul - Desktop GUI Framework
cxx-qt - Safe interop between Rust and Qt
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]
