This is an advert for zgui, disguised as a critique piece.

From the article itself:

> Disclosure: I ported GPUI’s current Linux renderer to wgpu2, I built the benchmark harness used below, and I work on zgui, a signal-based Rust framework that appears in the charts.

zgui just released version 0.1.0 last month, with a 3 month dev history. And it's their only version.

GPUI's last release was 0.2.2, 1 year ago.

Framework maturity is an unavoidable contributing factor when choosing where to port over your application.

Should that mean that they can only choose 10-year-old frameworks? No, but also they shouldn't be chasing 1-month-old projects.

There are minimums & maximums, and the minimum sits at "definitely not 1 month old projects with only 1 public release".
