There are currently very few (if any) UI frameworks available for Rust, and certainly not targeting multi-platform native widget frameworks.
I was thinking that a lot of stuff implemented in C++ wxWidgets wouldn't need to be implemented such as wxString, wxHashMap, etc. since these are all part of Rust itself.
Mind you that the C++ version of wxWidgets works just fine, but when contemplating a future roadmap for wxWidgets the devs will want to consider Rust.

Re: Porting wxWidgets to Rust?
I'm not sure how many here are familiar with Rust (for one I'm not).
So trying to provide background information will help make a good conversation.
For example I don't know why you are even talking of porting to Rust if as you say C++ port works fine

Hi,
You might consider posting to wx-dev mailing list - this is a user forum made for users by users of the library.
Core developers are not coming here - you can reach them in the mailing list.
Thank you.

Re: Porting wxWidgets to Rust?
Because there aren't any native UI frameworks for Rust at the moment. This limits what I (can) do with it severely.
And interop (calling C++ wxWidgets from Rust) doesn't work comfortably since the two languages are subtly different.
