It's highly likely that will happen anytime soon.
Jürg Billeter created Vala for the sole purpose of building GTK / GNOME applications and the two projects are tightly coupled.
It's not to say that Rust won't have GTK bindings in the future, but it's not a high priority for either Mozilla or GNOME devs and unlikely to displace Vala.
- sandGorgon 13y agois that so ? I would have thought that considering they are building a browser that was originally written in C-GTK, the first order of business would be to build GTK bindings. I would say Vala and Rust do have fairly similar goals in general. P.S. I know right now Servo != Firefox, but I suppose it will get there eventually.
- pohl 13y agoServo isn't even a project to build a browser. It's just a project to build the rendering engine. I'd guess that none of the interesting work they're focusing on overlaps with any of the user-interface chrome where GTK would become relevant.
