Digital Audio Workstation Front End Development Struggles
Slint dev here.<p>I'm a bit disappointed to see that Slint is considered a non-starter. In fact, one of our users is currently working on exactly that (a VST plugin for an audio application) and they are about to release it very soon. Unfortunately, I can't share a link until it's officially released.<p>The author seems to dismiss declarative UI without explaining why. From my perspective, declarative is the best way to describe UI.<p>Regarding the limited support for custom widgets, I disagree. In Slint, it's incredibly easy to create custom widgets. A widget is simply a component that can be created and utilized.<p>While it's true that our desktop integration is still a work in progress, we have already implemented the core functionalities needed for building such UIs. We are actively developing features based on user needs and prioritize implementing features that our users require immediately. If you're interested in using Slint, please reach out to us, and we'll ensure that we implement what is necessary for your product.
