Because this is written in Rust and given how hard it is to hire Rust engineers, this will be abandonware in no time.
Remember vala anyone?
Although I want this to succeed if it is infact more performant and smoother than GNOME.

Vala is nothing like Rust, doesn't solve the same problems, and is much more narrow in scope (Gnome development). https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:AcldYnj7ElwJ:https://blogs.gnome.org/despinosa/2017/02/14/vala-is-not-a-programming-language/ https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:AcldYn...
- mohanmcgeek 5y agoFor the reasons I mentioned above, adoption of vala by projects in 2010 is exactly like adoption of Rust. That Rust is much more capable doesn't matter.
- SkyMarshal 5y agoYou didn’t give any reasons about adoption of Vala. You said it’s hard to hire Rust programmers, and then just “Remember Vala anyone?” without actually saying anything more about Vala.
- gurkendoktor 5y agoWell, what about Vala? Obviously C, Python, and especially JavaScript are infinitely more popular programming languages. Yet the number of developers building GTK apps with any of them seems to be in the same ballpark.
