Regarding Rust GUI framework, there is also Slint https://slint.dev

(Disclaimer: I'm one of the Slint developers.)

I looked at Slint a couple years ago when I was evaluating UI toolkits. Looks slick! The only thing that turned me off was needing an additional DSL to define UIs. Trying to learn fewer languages, more deeply, these days. Is it possible to use Slint without the DSL?

Slint does require using its DSL to define UIs, but I'd argue it's not really like learning a whole new language. It's not harder than learning the API surface of any other GUI framework.

I actually wrote a blog post about this exact topic, since it's a common question: https://slint.dev/blog/domain-specific-language-vs-imperativ...
