Interesting that you won't replace Qt with Rust, because I'm considering doing it. The reasons: - Qt core (QList, QMap) can be replaced with Rust std lib - I don't use QML and Javascript (because Javascript errors don't show up at compile time) - The only thing missing from Rust is QWidgets, but I'm sure there will be something to replace it I wouldn't like to use a Rust port of Qt just to get QWidgets for Rust, because it would also mean shipping huge Qt core libraries with my Windows application. I don't need them so I don't want to do that.

You list Qt core but that's not what I use Qt for. I use it to make GUI apps and it's pretty darn good at it. QML is the way forward for making GUI apps, you are not supposed to use javascript much (although you can make complete apps with it). You are supposed to have your complex logic in a C++ backend which interacts with the QML frontend. Maybe QML will have Rust bindings.
