Tangential, how does slint fare compared to Druid/egui(?)

[airstrike]

Tangential reply, but Druid has been abandoned. The spirit lives on as Xilem, but that doesn't have much traction either. It's very... exploratory in nature.

I'm partial to iced, which to me is the best GUI library in Rust by far. The Discord is super active if you have questions.

Slint is backed by a company that sponsors its development, in model similar to Qt.

For the record, so is iced, effectively.

Ah, Cryptowatch, and what do they understand about selling GUIs?

[airstrike]

It's Kraken, not Cryptowatch, as the latter was acquired.

Who's supposed to be selling GUIs here?

Your comment goes against several HN guidelines. As the 15th highest karma on this site, I'm sure you could do better.

[pjmlp]

The remark "in a model similar to Qt" assumes it is a software company selling a GUI framework, while offering part of it for free.

What I see there is a crypto fund that most likely cares about how iced fits into their own use cases first.

I seldom read those, by the way.

Your answer's tone is weird.

Thanks

I'm curious as well. My understanding is one notable differencse, exemplified here, is that Slint can work on embedded devices / no-std.

Most of the Rust GUI frameworks will run on something like a Kindle with 100's of MBs of RAM. Slint is the main one that will go smaller than that (it will run on actual MCU if you need it to).
