Ok, but GTK uses Javascript, which is where most of that toolkit's defects (both security flaws and slowdowns) come from, not C. Calling javascript from Rust isn't going to be a materially different experience than calling javascript from C.

GTK is written in C, not JS.

GTK uses CSS but no JS. GNOME uses JavaScript intensively though, which is part of the reasons for the many slowness and bugs.
