In the dynamic world of #GUI development, #QML has emerged as a powerful solution for embedded UIs, offering a declarative approach within the Qt framework. Yet, the dependency on Qt and its C++ and JavaScript languages for business logic introduces inherent risks and the potential for bugs that manifest only at #runtime, prompting #developers to seek safer alternatives. In the pursuit of a safer and more robust alternative, we turn to Slint, which offers a fresh perspective for developers familiar with QML. We delve into the similarities, advantages, enhancements, challenges, and intricacies of adopting #Slint in the context of QML development. Is the transition to Slint a worthwhile endeavor? David Vincze, senior software engineer at @Felgo, discusses this question, exploring the feasibility, benefits, and potential pitfalls of integrating Rust and Slint into the GUI development landscape. At Oxidize Conference, we're grateful to @Felgo for their support in making our 2024 Conference happen.
