Existing frameworks and ecosystems often come with tools, supporting files such as configuration schemas, translations and ui definitions, and various other infrastructure that are often well supported by the usual languages and build systems.

The presentation will be about the gbuild crate written by the presenter, which has the goal of allowing building a full Gnome application without requiring any kind of integration with non-cargo build systems through the use of a Rust feature called build scripts.
