While I do not, and almost certainly will not, code with Rust, it was very interesting to read this and compare it to doing GUI programming with Gtkmm (the C++ wrapper for GTK), which I've done for more than 20 years. Some things seem a bit weird and ugly, and some idioms seem rather nice. Overall, not a clear win but certainly worth seeing the differences and similarities and thinking about them a little bit.
