Rust? It's built clean from the ground up. The crates.io registry is full of modern, safe, composable libraries. You've got Axum, Rocket and Actix for backends, Leptos, Dioxus, and Yew for frontend, and more. Every library you use follows the same philosophy: safety, performance, and zero tolerance for ambiguity.

> Is this something Flutter doesn't do?
Flutter does do this (at least to some extent) on Desktop/Mobile. It attempts to create a hidden DOM tree for accessibility on web. Which generally doesn't seem to be thought to work very well.
> One of the most jarring experiences I have with Flutter Desktop was it lacked MacOS Emacs-style key bindings for text editing (ctrl-a, ctrl-e, etc.). Not sure if Dioxus solved this?
Ah, we're nearly there on that one. We have a PR [0] accepted into Winit (the underlying windowing library we use) which will allow us to access those events. We're just waiting on Winit to do a new release and then we can integrate it into Dioxus.

FlyingCarpet
Cross-platform AirDrop. File transfer between Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows over ad hoc WiFi. No network infrastructure required, just two devices with WiFi chips (and optionally Bluetooth) in close range.
Fortunately I found a reddit post which mentioned about a software named Flying Carpet after tinkering with that, and checking its code I found out there is something call Wireless ad hoc network (WANET), it its basically a decentralised type of wireless network which does not rely on router or wireless access points.

You're absolutely correct! I mention this elsewhere in the documentation even. Buttplug really is just a userland HID manager at its core. The only specialized part is the context of commands we send to devices.
The original plan (and it may still happen, who knows) was to figure out a way to chop off that top message layer and create a generalized system for doing exactly what you've said. That was going to be called 'deviceplug', and it's why btleplug is under the 'deviceplug' org on github (https://github.com/deviceplug/btleplug). I've just never gotten around to it because I'm not quite ready for the additional support burden yet.
All that said, Buttplug is also a haptics experimentation project aimed at finding out what it's like to create a way to communicate about a very specific type of touch via technology and programming. There are specific goals within the project related to that, but the amount of tech required to actually pull that off means I end up with what basically amounts of a fleet management framework. :)
