Ribir: Non-intrusive GUI framework for Rust/WASM (github.com)

How does this compare to EGUI, GPUI, and Slint?

I like the idea of using macros to clean syntax; am writing some for EGUI right now to make colored text easier.

I'm really not sure how this "composition" is any different to the usual inheritance you see in frameworks like QML *in practice*.

This in Ribir:

```

Column {

        align_items: Align::Center,

        item_gap: 12.,

        @H1 { text: "Todo" }

}

```

Would be this in QML:

```

ColumnLayout {

        spacing: 12

        Text {
                Layout.alignment: Qt.AlignHCenter

                text: "Todo"

                font.pointSize: 17
        }

}

```

Yet both examples use macros.

I might still got ptsd from a job where literally all of the rust codebase was written as macros. Since then I avoid them at all costs.

I find the route, that gleam took, way more elegant with squirrel (sqlx-ish) and lustre (elm-like) being examples of what we could have instead. Avoiding language mixing is so important for proper/clean lsp-support - yet macros are a different language as i see it.

As for the rest of this: i also don't see how it's any different from iced, egui etc. but maybe I didn't take the time to check the details...

It seems Rust has now achieved the glorious status of JS's "there's a new UI framework coming out every day"
