Overview
Explore Raph Levien's latest Rust UI technology prototype in this Bay Area Rust meetup talk. Delve into the refined Xilem medium-grained reactive architecture, featuring implementations of two different View traits for the same view tree. Learn about SVG DOM node creation for WASM browser rendering and high-performance native GPU rendering with the Vello engine. Discover how advanced Rust type system features make declarative vector graphics more ergonomic. Gain insights into the Xilem architecture, View Sequence, and View Trait concepts. Compare Xilem with other declarative UI approaches like SolidJS, Dioxis, Elm, and Swift UI. Witness a live coding demonstration and explore the potential for open-source collaboration on this work in progress.
