As a rust developer, I do too! Those are not representative of rust GUI/3D etc desktop applications. I've made some pretty complicated stuff with 2D and 3D graphics, lots of functionality; expected size is 5-15Mb on Windows, and 10-25Mb on Linux. Less if you don't need 3D.
- correa_brian 1y agoWhat do you think would be more in line with what you've seen in the past? There's definitely room to keep optimizing.
- the__alchemist 1y ago<25Mb for the executable. For the use case the web page desribes, probably <15Mb. It usually comes down to dependencies used.
- katrinarodri 1y agoInteresting. I'd love to get our app size down further, under 15MB would be great.
- tonyhart7 1y agois there a UI framework production ready yet in rust??? because for Tauri at least you can use JS which is fine
- _bent 1y agoyeah slint, which is most similar to Qt see https://www.boringcactus.com/2025/04/13/2025-survey-of-rust-gui-libraries.html https://www.boringcactus.com/2025/04/13/2025-survey-of-rust-...
- fkyoureadthedoc 1y agolol when you click through to this site from HN it redirects to https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d4/Human_fart.wav https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d4/Human_fa... if you open in new tab or copy/paste in new tab it does not.
- sedatk 1y agoFunny for sure, but not novel. JWZ also doesn't let his web site linked from HN. Example link (that only works properly when you copy paste, opinionated rejection otherwise): https://www.jwz.org/blog/2024/06/mozillas-original-sin/ https://www.jwz.org/blog/2024/06/mozillas-original-sin/
