It does depend on the platform you are using.
One of the devices I’m working on had to use rust (we were looking for some niche libraries, and we found that the C ones weren’t working, while the Rust ones did).
Building GUIs in rust is still a WIP, and I had to spend 2-3 days fixing libs and tweeking stuff to get to something that compiled but was very buggy.
Instead of losing more time on that I set chromium + apache on the thing, and built the GUI as a web app. The rust executable has a simple API with actix that works flawlessly.
In that case it was the perfect solution because I had to add an API for remote management anyway, but I found the approach quite nice to work with.
