Comparison to relm

[Gaelan]

This crate and relm seem pretty similar on a first glance—they're both GUI libraries with a "modern" Elm/React-style API. It'd be nice if there was some documentation somewhere describing the differences and pros/cons of each.

Some preliminary notes from a quick look at each crate:

• vgtk uses an HTML-like syntax for defining UIs, while relm's syntax looks more like normal Rust. (Both syntaxes are implemented as macros usable from within normal Rust files.)
• vgtk uses Futures, while relm doesn't.
• vgtk uses a Virtual DOM-style approach, while relm works by inserting code to update the UI after state updates at compile time. The tradeoff here seems to be that relm's approach is more efficient, but vgtk's has fewer gotchas.
• relm is more popular and more actively maintained.

I've opened an equivalent issue on relm here: https://github.com/antoyo/relm/issues/274

I wrote some programs with relm and I tried to write one with vgtk, but I rapidly switch back to relm due to the issue #39.
