Exploring Slint as a Rust Alternative to QML for GUI Development

In the dynamic world of GUI development, QML has emerged as a powerful solution for Embedded UIs, offering a declarative approach within the Qt framework. Yet, the dependency on Qt and its C++ and JavaScript languages for business logic introduces inherent risks and the potential for bugs that manifest only at runtime, prompting developers to seek safer alternatives.
In our pursuit of a safer and more robust alternative, we turn to Slint, which offers a fresh perspective for developers familiar with QML. We delve into the similarities, advantages, enhancements, challenges, and intricacies of adopting Slint in the context of QML development.
Is the transition to Slint a worthwhile endeavor? Join us as we discuss this question, exploring the feasibility, benefits, and potential pitfalls of integrating Rust and Slint into the GUI development landscape.
