Ahh, gotcha. Yeah "enterprise" to me meant: "I can write/maintain a UI rich/polished enough to pass as a 'shrink wrapped' app to my end users".
Thanks for the reply.

FWIW that reply was from a different person :D
In my case I did mean "I can write/maintain a UI rich/polished enough to pass as a 'shrink wrapped'"
The notion of shrink wrapped software dates us I think? But to that end, I have elements of so many different native looks jumbled around in my head all the way back to amiga workbench (deluxe paint was the best), that anything without really obvious flaws like off centered text or unresponsive buttons feels shrinkwrappable to me. By my standard any of these looks is enterprise ready. I remember someone at MS looking at a gui made by a team my friend was on and mocking it for looking like it was out of tron with saturated colors on a black background in high contrast instead of "modern" 3d grey buttons. It looked a lot more like the linked UI than anything MS was producing at the time. So there is the fashion aspect of it. You want to stand out, but not too much. I think that is the aspect I'm unable to judge. If everything is in the first or second place I look, I just won't care.
> I did mean "I can write/maintain a UI rich/polished
FWIW, you wrote that you actually HAVE done so, not just that you think you could:
"but I've been able to build incredibly rich, enterprise-ready UI with Rust today."
Unless one has actually done so, and maintained/extended over a period of time, and not solo but with others, I don't know that one can be certain that a UI toolkit is good enough; certainly, it would be hard to know what surprising edges and ergonomics there are to consider in one's evaluation.
I have built it. It hasn't existed for long enough for me to say I've maintained it for an extended period of time, but then again I did not claim that. Nor did I use the word "certain". There's no certainty in life.
I hear your point, but it's important to note I'm not making those claims and I don't think all of that needs to be true for it to be some value of "enterprise-ready". You and I may disagree on the meaning of that term, and that's fine.
Can you provide more details? Links to the implementation of available? Framework you used? Pain points?
I used the `iced` framework and I can't link to it because it's not available to the general public yet.
Pain points were learning to think in The Elm Architecture early on and creating very complex custom widgets of my own (think a spreadsheet editor, for example)
I made some tiny apps available on my github as I was learning Rust and the library. None really meet the enterprise grade hurdle but show some of what's possible with little code. If you spend a little while longer you can make them much more polished, obviously. I kept them "unpolished" so they would be even easier for beginners to follow
