lvgl is great.


I guess slint is used to tanslate target language. for example we 
translate vide.d template into dlang source code, then pass to 
dmd compile.

Slint allow us use live preview to design the UI, and generate 
execute binary direct from target language code.  this can 
guaranteed the best performance and flexibility, and the results 
binary size is also very small (if we use betterC for this case).

for example a slint c++ project result around 200KB binary.
