I’m not well-versed in Rust, but as far as I’m aware there’s a somewhat low hard cap on how ergonomic a fully Rust “old style” imperative OO UI framework (like AppKit/UIKit) can be, which is unfortunate as I find that style easiest to work with for complex desktop apps.

I wish there were more memory safe compiled languages that focused on ergonomics for cases like this.

Rust doesn't play well with traditional frameworks but works fairly well with Elm and immediate mode.
