If the problem is the type system/borrow checker, it's simply a question of experience.

  Not when writing GUI like code, to the point that the Rust team acknowledges that additional work needs to be done after NLL lands on stable. http://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2018/11/01/after-nll-interprocedural-conflicts/ http://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2018/11/01/afte... http://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2018/11/10/after-nll-moving-from-borrowed-data-and-the-sentinel-pattern/ http://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2018/11/10/afte... So while Rust is much more productive than ATS or Cyclone, there is still room of improvement for that experience.

    There's always room for improvement, but speaking of GUI, gtk-rs is pretty usable already.

      It is, if you don't mind sprinkling your code with Rc<RefCell<item>> everywhere, as means to access widget struct members in callbacks.
