This is a cool project, but it seems like it hasn't been updated in a long time?

It seems like https://github.com/chaosprint/glicol has a similar problem.

The problem with creative coding and languages like Rust, or C++ for that matter, is that long compilation times break down the interactivity that is expected in such workflows.

This reminds me of OpenFrameworks [0], which provides very similar framework style functionality like Nannou but for C++.

It hasn't been actively maintained, but it is still a good crate. Also it has good document unlike other similar crates. I loved this community tutorial: https://github.com/sidwellr/schotter
