“Why Aren't We GUI Yet?”
summary
GPUI is an application framework, not just a UI library, and it claims concrete solutions: a React‑style element tree with elements analogous to HTML elements and Tailwind‑style styling, strict state ownership where Entities are mutated only through a context yielding &mut borrows like &mut WidgetView, a custom async executor with distinct APIs and short APIs background_spawn and spawn for UI vs background work, plus a layered layout system, dev inspector, deterministic executor and an upcoming crates.io release.
