I would argue it’s not possible for Rust to have a “world-class” toolkit, because it seems implied that it’d be cross-platform. This means it’ll always lag behind UIKit, AppKit, GTK/Qt, and... whatever Windows has these days.

The Iced project used as an example has a custom renderer for example... does it support VoiceOver? Does it support every standard Cocoa keyboard shortcut?

Rust wrappers for these existing libraries (some exist) that maintain all functionality is what would allow “world-class” apps to be built in pure Rust IMO.
