Description

Due to the existential threat of memory unsafety, it has become necessary to rewrite the Qt codebase in Rust. This will solve current bugs and prevent future bugs.

Expected behavior:

No segfaults. Also, maybe performance gains.

Actual behavior:

Thousands of lines of C++ code that compile and run, but at what cost?
