Well, these announcement threads are a good example of Cunningham's Law! I had never heard about Gammaray before. I think this is an instance of "the future is already here, but it's unevenly distributed". All the tools I talk about in this post already exist in one way or another. Browser devtools already exist, rr and redux-replay already exist, pernosco already exists, etc. But a lot of developers haven't heard about them (eg I suspect most Qt developers haven't heard of Gammaray), or can't use them for their specific use-case. And in the case of Rust UI, lots of greenfield frameworks are being developed that don't have these tools by default. So Masonry isn't aiming to somehow be better than every existing desktop GUI framework. It's aiming to help Rust framework developers include these tools by default, so that developers always know to reach for them.
