The problem with creative coding and languages like Rust, or C++ for that matter, is that long compilation times break down the interactivity that is expected in such workflows.

  Yes, I wanted to play with things like this, I love Rust, but nowadays I use things built in Python or Lua (like love2d) -- because I need fast interactivity for visual creative coding.

This reminds me of OpenFrameworks [0], which provides very similar framework style functionality like Nannou but for C++.<p>[0]: <a href="https://openframeworks.cc/" rel="nofollow">https://openframeworks.cc/</a>

  yep looks heavily inspired by OF. Anyone knows whats up with that project? I was involved years ago, it seems to still be going but I think many people moved on?

It hasn't been actively maintained, but it is still a good crate. Also it has good document unlike other similar crates. I loved this community tutorial: <a href="https://github.com/sidwellr/schotter" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/sidwellr/schotter</a>
