On: Rust Qt Binding Generator

I completely agree with your thoughts. However, Rust is getting a lot of traction these days. Sooner or later more people will start to wonder "How do I write a portable app in it?" The Qt solution is a neat one, and might soon become the de facto standard - something similar happened with Python and Tk in the past.

I have dabbled a bit in Rust GUI programming for a small project and gtk-rs also works quite well. Is is also actively maintained and has regular releases.

Some people from the GNOME and Rust communities are working on macro magic that allows you to create GObject classes from Rust [1].

The downside is that the applications do not look native on macOS or Windows. But so doesn't Electron ;).

Historically, only languages with enormous amounts of traction have developed mature, consistently maintained GUI libraries. Right now, it's basically only C++, Python and Java that have any.
