I gave myself a goal to write a #rustlang GUI app that does following:
1. app pops up as text input where you enter a query
2. app seeks the query on Wikipedia and shows combo box with possible Wikipedia pages
3. you choose and hit enter
4. app fetches summary (forst paragraph(s)) and displays the text under combo box
a) GTK - mature but total mess and sorcery
b) equi - very early, widget poor
c) iced -very early, lacks docs, but doable
