The State of Rust Ul
summary
Review of the Rust native UI ecosystem lists concrete pieces: winit 0.30 gains a trait API for immediate system callbacks; Taffy layout provides web‑style Flexbox; rendering options include skia‑safe, WebRender and Vell (compute shaders); text stacks use swash/scrier or HarfBuzz bindings while CosmicText/Parley handle layout; gaps include IME support, inline rich text, a system compositor and polished accessibility via AccessKit; hot‑reload exists in Dioxus/Leptos/Bevy and widgets plus docs need more maturity.
