Visual Application Design for Rust - Rik Arends

In this talk I will show the new MIT licensed visual application design tool for Makepad. We will walk through our fun new AI examples with generative image and text models and look at the lessons learned developing these applications in Rust.

I was fortunate enough to attend this live. Absolutely brilliant speaker! I hope to see him again next year

[@ekids.bassment]

I would like to suggest to make the screen full screen and put your logo on top, I can't read a single line of code this way.

I'll have a better windowing system next time around

[@keepsimple1]

strip down windows-rs to 1MB is really cool!

[@rikarends7102]

I think MS made a tool for that now as well

[@TimmmmCam]

Very cool! I don't know if I could edit Rust without rust-analyzer though...

[@rikarends7102]

Rust analyser lives in my head for now

I've also started writing my own libs, because most of them use too many external crates when you can do the same thing with only the std one.

His videos are a kind of funny show-off, but they haven't really gotten me anywhere yet
