Matt Campbell<p>My <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/RustWeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RustWeek</span></a> conference talk about <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/AccessKit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AccessKit</span></a> is coming up in about 3 hours, at 10:25 CET. That's 8:25 UTC, or 3:25 AM US Central time (my usual time zone). It will be live-streamed here: <a href="https://rustweek.org/live/wednesday/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">rustweek.org/live/wednesday/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> My talk is in the main track.</p>
Matt Campbell<p>I can't stop wondering if, to truly meet my goals for the <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/AccessKit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AccessKit</span></a> project (<a href="https://github.com/AccessKit/accesskit" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">github.com/AccessKit/accesskit</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>), it will be necessary to rewrite it as a C library. Not a Rust library with a C API, but actually in C. I've had doubts before; you'd think the question would be settled by now. But two things prompted me to think about this again. 1/?</p>
Matt Campbell<p>I sometimes wonder if I'm solving a 2000s problem, so to speak, with my work on <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/AccessKit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AccessKit</span></a>. That is, accessibility for non-web, desktop GUIs is quite an old problem by now, and AccessKit is simply trying to provide a reusable, toolkit-independent version of the sort of cross-platform accessibility abstraction that has existed (within browser engines and big GUI toolkits) for a couple of decades. It's certainly not a trendy thing to be working on. But still undeniably useful. 5/?</p>
