I think a more charitable interpretation is that the developers currently working on Rust GUI toolkits are still trying to figure out what a good Rust-native GUI looks like. I'm optimistic that the results will be worth the wait.


It really doesn't make a whole lot of sense to build a UI in rust.

UIs generally change a lot, errors aren't so critical, and there are types of abstractions and complexity that just don't exist at the lower layers.

You could so some of the 'core' stuff in rust, but people building UIs would want to use a higher level language.

Imagine writing websites in C. Why would you want to do that, even if you could (aside from novelty).

It's quite beyond the scope of rust.
