By
Levitating
If you only eat one bagel today, this is the bagel.
Summary
Xilem is an experimental Rust-native UI framework that provides a high-level reactive architecture for building GUI applications. It's inspired by React, SwiftUI, and Elm, allowing developers to create lightweight view trees that automatically update based on changes. The framework includes Masonry as a foundational crate for building natively compiled GUIs with a retained widget tree, event handling, and update passes. Xilem supports both web and Masonry backends, making it a versatile option for Rust developers interested in reactive UI development.
