Does this offer me much over LVGL?

A typed and tooled (lsp, live-preview, etc) DSL for the UI and Rust/C++20 APIs, compared to C APIs.

Looks interesting, I like the online demos. I would look at using it but it doesn't look like there is a port for esp32. The lack of explicit instructions/info about getting this running with esp-idf puts a bit of a damper on it. Rust is nice, but I'm not sure how to get that working with an existing C, freeRTOS project. So while the technical parts of this seem really nice, the developer experience for someone outside of slint seems a little hard.
