After some playing around a bit with it, I think I actually like slint?

It seems to fix some of the complaints I have with qml, and the hability to run the ui, change the code and immediately see the result is a huge plus on any ui framework.

Yeah, that means the UI part isn't written in rust, but déclarative language are actually just better suited to code UI anyway. I still dislike UI coding but it's way less painful this way.

( I lowkey wanted to rant about the licences but there is a GPLv3 licence available, and yes it's less convenient than a AGPLv3 or god forbid a BSD/MTI type licence, I'm not gonna trash a licence option which garanties code availability. I probably won't be able to use it at work for commercial project though... )

@Ambraven Like with #Qt, you can pay #Slint for commercial license.

In reality you need one only for embedded products. Desktop applications can enjoy free license (not GPL thou).

Truth is, the licensing options seems quite reasonable.

I'm probably more suspicious because it's made by a for profite organisation rather than a free software association.
