> Why would people want to build a UI in Rust except for speed?

Lots of reasons.

* The developer is familiar with Rust.

* The rest of the project is written in Rust.

* The primary function of the app is something for which a library exists in Rust.

Sure, Rust is known for running fast and for memory safety. But that doesn't mean that it will never be used except for those two reasons.

Yup. I write all my UI's in Rust. I write, well, everything in Rust. Why? Because i prefer it, and there is no task that i feel is fundamentally hindered by Rust itself. Shortcomings in libraries can definitely hinder, but that gets better with each year.
