I just want to applaud the author for being direct, and not couching their opinions in a bunch of caveats^1. Sometimes a little bit of directness (in good spirits) helps move discussions, and people's understanding forward.

^1: Except for the caveats in the footnotes :p

So one can bring to market a production-ready cross-platform native GUI desktop app in Rust quicker than if it was done in Python?

There's a reason why toolkits like Electron (JS/TS), and Flutter (Dart) are there for this use case when it comes to quick 'Time-to-market' production grade GUI apps. Rust (and its toolkits) still doesn't cut it, despite what the Rust hype squad thinks.

EDIT: So it has been admitted. There is still no mature cross-platform GUI library for Rust then. So much for unconvincing 'Time-to-market' claims which the Rust hype-squad have to result into flagging this post because they don't have an answer for this.

Oh dear.
