Are there any Rust UI libraries which would be suitable. I suspect that Rust, like Go, is far more suited to being a back-end language. Unless you want the Bitwig team to learn Web-Assembly and have Bitwig run in the browser, I don't think any garbage-collected language is going to fit the bill.dehuszar wrote: βSat May 29, 2021 11:09 am Personally, as a developer, I would love to see the codebase start to move towards Rust, but that's purely selfish as I'm excited about Rust. Short of that, it's a beta. There will be bugs. They will get fixed. The number of bets they've had to make that didn't quite pan out is very small compared to players who have been out in the world for much longer. Java and Cairo, I'm sure, can be made to work smoothly before the 4.0 GA release
Interestingly, the one language choice which no-one ever speaks about is FL Studio, which as far as I know is still written in Delphi, which combines being blisteringly fast, comes with advanced UI building capabilities, and does not use garbage collection (you create it, you bloody well destroy it!). I was a Delphi programmer for 20 years in a former life
