are there any Rust crates for SDL-style 2D drawing but that don't require me to use the SDL library?

buhhh i should probably try to figure out how to use Piston again sometime i guess... that just seems like overkill for making a window and drawing some shapes to it and grabbing some basic input

i mean i *could* just use sdl, but then i'd have to ship the sdl dll with my program n stuff

i may as well look up alternatives within the rust ecosystem first to see if there's anything good

to clarify the specific thing i want to do: i don't want to make a game presently, i just want to make a 2d gui for my music program

it's kinda looking like piston is the way to go. buhhh

@lizardsquid it's probably not as annoying as i'm making it sound. i just don't really know how to use piston

@typhlosion I couldn't get it working on my system because of weird dependency problems ::(

@lizardsquid oh no! unfortunately weird dependency problems are All The Rage in the rust ecosystem at the moment. i've had a few times where i wanted to use some library or check out someone's project but something along the way only worked in rust unstable for some reason or another

@typhlosion yeah, it's my main barrier to entry - especially because I'm using NixOS, which does it's own weird dependency stuff
