- yencabulator 3y agoGTK and FLTK are web now? (Of course, they aren't really Rust, just bindings to C libraries.) egui goes straight to graphics APIs, but it's not really a desktop UI widgets kind of a thing, more a game-oriented custom UI builder. Iced has pluggable rendering backends, but I understand it also targets the low-level graphics APIs directly.
