I'm the author of rust binding for QML (the qmetaobject crate). The idea is that this is "safe" because your Rust code is safe, and QML is also supposedly safe. The implementation of QtCore/QtQuick is not your code to maintain. So hope that other people made it safe. See it as an abstraction is just like the Rust standard library that uses lots of unsafe. But anyway, I'm also making Slint [0], a toolkit developed in Rust, inspired from QML. So that even the implementation of the toolkit is safer. [0] https://slint.rs |

Exactly, that's what I meant, if I trust QtCore/QtQuick, writing the UI QML and logic in Rust is a pretty good idea. Although I must say that the latest Qt versions Qt 6.5.0-6.5.1 came with two serious bugs for me causing me to revert to Qt 6.4.3. So even that comes with a grain of salt.
I have been keeping my eye on Slint! I must admit, the use cases shown on your website don't look attractive. First, the apps don't seem useful (some random analytic panel, printer demo, and widget gallery) and they don't look good. If I may suggest, put there a simple TODO app that everyone is been taguht these day how to develop one in all the new frameworks. Maybe another app similar to that. It's going to be much more practical and people can have a sense of what is possible to do in Slint. In any case, I have been coming to check Slint every few weeks to check the progress so it's very cool to speak with the author. I wish you the best with it!
