Top 18 Rust Native Projects

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.

slint
Slint is an open-source declarative GUI toolkit to build native user interfaces for Rust, C++, JavaScript, or Python apps.

Sadly my only experience with Pijul was this https://github.com/Eugeny/russh/issues/151.
When one of the key guys behind the VCS says things like "especially when the alternative is something as broken as Git" about other control systems I really don't feel like using said tool.
