> What’s a concrete problem Rust could solve for me? How about first class support for writing a GUI application? Though I don't think GUIs need to be a primary focus, there are some useful projects already. The rgtk library [1] is the best so far. It is the first Rust project I contributed to. It is currently broken due to the changes in the language, but that should be fixed relatively soon. GTK is more natural to interface with than Qt or WxWidgets because it is written in C.
