Developer rewrites Flutter in Rust, creating performance gains

A developer has created a new framework called Frust, which aims to replicate the functionality of Flutter but is written entirely in Rust. The project, inspired by an AI model's output, offers significant performance improvements in areas like app size, cold start times, and plugin call speed compared to Flutter. While Frust boasts a native binary with its own GPU renderer and cross-platform support, it currently lacks hot reload and has a limited plugin ecosystem. AI

IMPACT Offers a potential alternative for cross-platform development with performance benefits, though lacks key features like hot reload.
