Write once, run everywhere: building apps with Dioxus
summary
Dioxus is a Rust UI toolkit that compiles one codebase to web, desktop, mobile and terminal using an RSX macro and a virtual DOM, with live demos showing a Discord‑like app running in release and a tiny app running on iOS and web. It implements a use_state hook, batches DOM mutations, uses bump allocators for steady memory, and string interning via Sledgehammer to beat vanilla JS at wasm crossings. Hot reloading updates markup without a full Rust recompile; a production app has ~900 dependencies.
