To extend this, what's the state of accessibility for user interfaces built in Rust?

The main frameworks with traction like Slint UI, egui, tauri, and Dioxus all have baseline accessibility support

Many libraries now support AccessKit.

egui has native accesskit support

Russinovitch (Azure's CTO/CISO) gave a speech at RustConf 2025 and mentions it(DirectWriteCore) took 2 engineers 6 months resulting in 154K LOC and 5-15 percent performance increase for font shaping. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDtMuS7BExE&list=PL2b0df3jKK...

Curious the direction of Webkit as there was a nebulous mention of select portions being rewritten from C++ to Swift. And yet, the new ECMAScript module (ESM) loader for Safari 27 is implemented in C++ (https://webkit.org/blog/17967/news-from-wwdc26-webkit-in-saf...).

No idea, maybe the private parts of the code, Safari isn't open source, or is coming later.

In any case I would have liked to have more info during the deep dive sessions.

As it is, Meet with Apple on security (a 5h long event) had much more information.

Single tenant(and single core) tiny VMs with OpenBSD's VMM hypervisor and confidential computing through AMD-SEV.

Nice! Had to lookup when one was last released, 7.3. https://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html

How about F# support? Until then, happy to support Avalonia.

It won't happen, already on UWP you had to avoid specific F# code idioms that could generate MSIL that the .NET Native compiler wasn't happy with.

With WinRT on top of Win32, the .NET Native runtime support now lives in CsWinRT, where they also only have C# into account, not even VB as it used to be on UWP side.

There's also Crunch Scheme(from creator of Chicken): https://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/6/crunch

This brings back painful yesteryear memories when consultants would push Microsoft Small Business Server for an on-prem all in one IT solution and charge extra to move to the cloud(colocation). A Linux-based alternative appeared named Clark Connect.

If he was "behind the fence", at most he would be a team sergeant or maybe even assistant team sergeant. Talking 4-6 members max.
