I've also been working on a ui lib. Rather different, though: gpu completely optional (though well supported); not ecs; c.

I think there's a fundamental complexity that pervades popular ui libs (incl, qt, gtk, etc.), that doesn't need to be there.

Is this something which you can share with the public? I'd very much like to see it! I feel like all the modern UI libs are based too heavily on OOP.

Once it's done (tm). And there are other projects higher on the priority queue.

However, note that I also use OOP. No inheritance (death to gobject!), but the whole thing is based around interface polymorphism. This actually simplifies the design significantly. And you can implement an imgui on top of it pretty easily, if you really like hidden state.

What crates did you use? I'm curious since I just started trying Rust.

Is this an open source effort?

Not yet and I'm not sure I'll open source it.

Best of luck!

I would've thought that HN of all places would understand that oss isn't the right solution for every project and that downvotes like this for someone just saying they might not make their work open source is ridiculous.
