In this video, we will explore why programming a UI in Rust is so hard and what are some of the possible solutions if you are looking to build an app in the Rust programming language. πŸ¦€πŸ‘©β€πŸ’» You see Rust being talked about EVERYWHERE and for good reason. Something that isn't so obvious is how hard it is to create a User Interface (UI) with it. We will look at how Rust’s unique memory management model and lack of inheritance make it difficult to use traditional object-oriented programming patterns for UI development. We will also see how some Rust frameworks and libraries are trying to overcome these difficulties by using different approaches, such as functional programming, entity-component-systems, immediate mode GUI, and even the DOM.
