Tangential, how does slint fare compared to Druid/egui(?)

Tangential reply, but Druid has been abandoned. The spirit lives on as Xilem, but that doesn't have much traction either. It's very... exploratory in nature.

I'm partial to iced, which to me is the best GUI library in Rust by far. The Discord is super active if you have questions.

I'm curious as well. My understanding is one notable differencse, exemplified here, is that Slint can work on embedded devices / no-std.

  • Most of the Rust GUI frameworks will run on something like a Kindle with 100's of MBs of RAM. Slint is the main one that will go smaller than that (it will run on actual MCU if you need it to).
