About the GUI

The GUI is immediate mode and is built with egui. I would very like to find a retained mode GUI framework but the options are still scarce in Rust. I need something complete and cross-platform. It needs to have support for rich text (code display) and a docking UI (or implementable at least), and also not be ugly.

  • Xilem ? Too damn early, it's still at prototyping stage.
  • Floem ? Too damn early too, also a stock application consumes 500MB+ of memory which is kinda ridiculous.
  • GTK ? Probably the best option. I should look into it.
  • Web UI ? e.g. tauri / ultralight. Web is meh but allows for anything. I would love a stripped down and embeddable html/css engine without any javascript where events are handled directly in Rust. Maybe sciter ?
  • Flutter ? having looked that much into it.
  • Qt ? are the rust bindings functional ?

The thing is, egui sometimes feel subpar but is good enough everywhere. The ecosystem is nice and the development experience is amazing. Difficult to find better.
