Can someone please tell me what special about Rust? Say, why aren't desktop application popular based on say Python?
On tangent, ive seen a lot of terminal base application in typescript and go
Three years later, I’ve made new friends who have become core contributors, and there are now over 200 people idling in our #halloy channel on Libera.
My hope is that this client will outlive me and that IRC will live on.

I think the main reason is that writing Rust is a joy that gives you confidence. This is important to me as I often have small amounts of time to work on it (new dad). With rust I can start implementing a small feature, as long as it compiles I can be reasonably sure it works. In Python I’d be wading through a sea of runtime errors and never quite sure I actually got it right.
Cross platform is another good reason. UI library support is good. You have iced like this app, but also decent GTK bindings.
No runtime needed makes distribution and packaging infinitely easier than Python.
It’s a great language for writing desktop apps.
some of the best ways to build gui's on golang might be gtk golang bindings imo. I haven't tried qt but gtk for linux should work.
I have seen many apps also use golang as backend and flutter as frontend (warp android app wormhole or something and localsend both do this)
