I've been to the Rust meetup and didn't find it especially GUI developer-centric. While I'm not entirely GUI (or UI) disinterested, I'm certainly not GUI centric.
The only reason I haven't been to the Rust meetup more frequently is that there are many meetups available in town (which is a good thing)... and I haven't figured out how to be physically in two places simultaneously :-p. Rust Is a Systems Programming Language; it can target embedded systems (with static libraries); it is especially suited to cross-compilation (which is my primary interest with it)... Many other are interested with another attribute of the language the call Safety. I'd be interested in a larger group interested in embedded systems But think we have to believe embedded systems are (to a degree) an esoteric subject.
