I like rust but want to use Qt.

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/rust

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • slint

    Slint is a declarative GUI toolkit to build native user interfaces for Rust, C++, or JavaScript apps.

  • people recommending slint should also mention that you can't even create a context menu yet https://github.com/slint-ui/slint/issues/38 . I hate this sub sometimes. people just randomly recommending barely functional alternatives when OP is looking for mature UI solution.

  • QMetaObject crate for Rust

    Integrate Qml and Rust by building the QMetaObject at compile time.

  • I just used qmetaobject-rs and my experience with Qt/QML. There's the QML book from Qt if you're just starting, which is pretty nice https://www.qt.io/product/qt6/qml-book

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • cxx-qt

    Safe interop between Rust and Qt

  • You can use cxx-qt or qmetaobject-rs. Or use Slint

  • gyroflow

    Video stabilization using gyroscope data

  • You can get pretty far with Rust + Qt and I've been very happy with it, see Gyroflow

  • kas

    Another GUI toolkit

  • Qt classic/widgets? I'm developing Kas to offer vaguely similar features (e.g. data models, theme abstraction, custom widgets with complex event handling), though said event handling and data models are quite different. It's still got a long way to go (so API is not stable), but in case you are interested, I should be dropping a new release tomorrow.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
