  1. iced

    A cross-platform GUI library for Rust, inspired by Elm

    It absolutely should be doable! There's a [preliminary pull request for IME support](https://github.com/iced-rs/iced/pull/1474). But it's also not very useful without [text shaping and font fallbacks](https://github.com/iced-rs/iced/issues/33) which is needed for complex graphemes to display and be interacted with correctly.

  3. slint

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

    I know that there is still a lot to do to make Slint more polished on desktop, but i'm actually wondering what specifically you would so that Slint would be good enough for your case. I noticed that indeed the TextEdit with the femtovg backend was unusable with large amount of text. (Should be already much better after https://github.com/slint-ui/slint/pull/2393 ) And what specifically are you trying to achieve that the layout system doesn't allow?

  4. dioxus

    Fullstack app framework for web, desktop, and mobile.

  5. egui

    egui: an easy-to-use immediate mode GUI in Rust that runs on both web and native

  6. min-sized-rust

    🦀 How to minimize Rust binary size 📦

    I think so too, so everything should be statically linked into a small binary, which makes sense.

  7. boing

    Discontinued A safe wrapper over libui-ng-sys.
