10 years ago Python was famous for how many web frameworks it had.

It seems Rust will be famous for the number of GUI libraries.

Why?

1. Rust is growing in popularity, and a compelling GUI solution is needed

2. These solutions take significant time to incubate, so many of the ones we're seeing emerge have been incubating for months or years, started at a time when there were fewer options.

3. The implications for cross-platform app development with Rust are profound, and offer us a way to break free from the pain-points and shortcomings of the local maximum solutions du jour: Web + Electron and Phonegap-style WebView mobile apps.

Oh, but Rust has even more web framework than GUIs libraries;).
