No, it isn't. Yes, you can make Windows or macOS or Linux GUI in rust. Yes, there are options, but:

- ecosystem for GUI is weak

- Can't' imagine using anything, but relm or gtk-rs

- Existing GUI paradigms don't work well in Rust at all

As much as I love writing rust, I would rather write "core" in rust and link with it from something else for GUI.
