If Slint's licensing terms don't bother you, that's cool. They are more restrictive than most of the Rust ecosystem being dual Apache/MIT, though.

If you want to build a real app with a stable toolkit, use Slint.

Try Xilem if you want to experiment with new, experimental way to build UIs in Rust.
