Given Qt consists of hardcore lovers of old C++, this is unlikely to happen in this generation.

They literally announced that they are working on it: https://www.qt.io/qt-bridges

There's already a very good bridge for Qt: https://kdab.github.io/cxx-qt/book/

In the linked article the author had trouble building Qt for windows and because they wanted to go through 40+ GUI libraries they skipped it instead of pushing through. That's why it doesn't show up in final short-list of good options.

In my books (writing Rust since 2013, but haven't done any GUI work in it), Qt and Slint are the best options out there.
