Once you've learned it, Rust is just a very nice compiled language to work with.

You get higher level constructs than in C++, a language without a billion weird edge cases, a modern package manager, and much more. In my experience, my code written in Rust is more likely to work as intended, both because of the stricter compile-time checks, but also because language features like sum types make it easier to check the core logic at compile time.

I work in both C++ and Rust, among other languages, but these days I never reach for C++ for a new project

Do you really need tauri?

Tauri is for web devs that want to make GUIs with web tech in rust. You can do GUIs without web tech.

If you really want to make a GUI with rust, you can use iced.

If you just want a GUI with web tech, do it in JavaScript+html.

If you want a GUI without web tech and don't care the language, use a GUI toolkit for your preferred language.

Learning a GUI toolkit is hard. Learning a language is hard. Learning both at the same time is even harder than the sum.

Tauri is for using webtech with rust irc.

So if you want to use rust in combination with JS frameworks like reakt you use tauri.

A fake sense of security by pretending that simple apps that don't expose low level interfaces and use wrapping libraries for all parts of networking need to be implemented by-design memory language, or for people who just like rust.
