Are there any ongoing efforts of making a desktop environment (similar to KDE or Gnome) in Rust?

  Example for exporting a GObject/C API from Rust

  See https://github.com/sdroege/gobject-example-rs but I should really update that for all the improvements in the glib bindings. That could be all much easier now.

  The Rust package registry

  

  There's an OS in rust called Redox OS which is very active, uses a microkernel (yay) and is pure rust, plus it comes with a pure Rust DE called Orbital, and like KDE is Qt or GNOME is GTK, Orbital has a really good toolkit called Orbtk on crates.io that can be used for GNU/Linux, Android, Windows, Mac, and web.
