Yet, web developers have been using some of those exotic patterns for ages and they don't complain. They even prefer that way to traditional GUIs by using Electron massively now. Rust GUI frameworks are typically based on strict separation between a model and a view and communication between them with messages which is something much closer to web programming than traditional GUI programming. An OOP soup with arbitrary handlers messing around with state directly in random places is IMHO a bad idea in any language anyway.

MVC originated in desktop GUIs, originally for Smalltalk. Java Swing was, I believe, the first mainstream GUI framework which used it thoroughly. Most GUI frameworks since then are also MVC (or some derivative thereof, like MVVM in .NET). This is just a way of organizing code and has little to do with presence of absence of event handlers, or the web.

I didn't mean MVC so much, as message passing between the view and the model. Safe Rust has no problem with MVC nor its derivatives.
