• flutter_rust_bridge

  52 3,594 10.0 Dart

  Flutter/Dart <-> Rust binding generator, feature-rich, but seamless and simple.

I have found flutter with https://github.com/fzyzcjy/flutter_rust_bridge to be a good solution for gui.

• taffy

  A high performance rust-powered UI layout library

  

I've been working on a CSS Grid layout implementation, and more thinking more broadly about how we might define a Layout trait that is layout-algorithm agnostic and could provide a shared basis for layout across the Rust GUI ecosystem. The vision being that the layout system available shouldn't be a criteria that one needs to consider when selecting a GUI library/framework because layout modes written once should be available everywhere.

  Are we web yet? A simple reckoning of Rust's readiness for Web-related things.

  

Ignoring the obvious lightheartedness of this answer, I want to point out the hazard of such sites. Take https://www.arewewebyet.org/: it claims “yes” with effusive epithets, making various claims that are objectively false (everything and more, mature). Despite pointing out the problems with the claims two years ago, only one of the more incontrovertibly false aspects was tempered, and all of the rest of the very misleading and false claims are still made. This is harmful for the ecosystem, because it gets people in under false pretences, and embitters them when they realise they never have believed the gushing exclamation marks and promises from a website that looked officialish.

• slint
