Rust does not make your rocket fly faster, but it lowers the chance that it would explode mid-flight.


Rust can also leak memory (memory leaks are memory safe in Rust).


If that's your reason for using Rust then safety is as useful in a GUI toolkit as anywhere else (indeed I'd say more so - GUI toolkits tend to involve lots of hierarchies and callbacks that make it easy to get confused about ownership, or get into unexpected states).
