Got very excited by @matt demo of AccessKit integration in #GTK
AccessKit is a cross-platform abstraction for accessibility infrastructure written in Rust.
His work will bring a11y support for GTK on macOS and Windows as well as for the new accessibility architecture on Linux code-named "Newton".

I hope this new accessibility stack will be ready as soon as possible! It will be like an update from #GNOME 1 (or 2?) to current (right now 46) for sighted users.
