  I actually wrote Rust bindings for Qt a while back: https://github.com/woboq/qmetaobject-rs/. I'm curious to see how Qt's own take with Qt Bridges will work out. That said, I’ve since moved on and now work on Slint [https://github.com/slint-ui/slint]

  Slint was created with the same idea as what drives "Qt Bridges". We made a UI toolkit that is language-agnostic from the start. Slint uses its own UI language (inspired by QML), and gives you first-class, idiomatic APIs in Rust, C++, Pyhton, and JavaScript. And a clean separation between UI and business logic.
