I have been building a Qt/KDE app in rust using that CXX-QT binding. It's pretty good, but definitely more of a headache to work through the binding than just directly with C++. That being said, I don't feel like I'm about to shoot myself in the foot with rust. Rust just protects and advises the best paths forward. Once KDAB solidifies the binding and perhaps makes it easy for others to create their own extra bindings, (which they don't want to maintain every class in QT so this is necessary) it'll be amazing.

Also, it feels so awesome to build the backbend in rust and the ui in QML.
