Rust is particularly strong because the crate system lets them slowly bring things into the stdlib.

There are many UI libraries for Rust; I’ve tried most of them, and all of them are radically different in their approaches. None of them are anywhere near as good as most UI frameworks in other languages (in my opinion).

Bringing a UI framework into the stdlib at this point in time would be terrible because the community still hasn’t figured out the best way to write a UI framework and it would stifle innovation in this developing section of the language.

The website "Are we GUI yet?" lays out the current state of UI frameworks on Rust, for those interested: http://www.areweguiyet.com/
I don't understand this website and why it always get linked. It's just a list of a bunch of crates unsorted. Most of them are unmaintained, or just early prototypes. There isn't a good comparison of all these crates
We are not gui yet.
