what makes senior rust devs choose between regular borrowing vs smart pointers like arc/rc or refcell/mutex

been wondering about this decision process in actual projects not just tutorial stuff. how do you figure out when the borrow checker is fighting you too much and its time to reach for the shared ownership tools instead of trying to make basic references work

native gui options in rust without web tech

trying to find good rust gui library that doesnt use web stuff like html css js or electron type things

what i need is:

* uses very little memory and cpu

* renders natively

* makes small executable files

* easy for someone new to learn with decent documentation

basically want to make simple desktop programs without pulling in browser engine or anything heavy like that

which ones do you think are worth trying and what are the reasons. also wondering which option is easiest to start with compared to which one gives best performance and smallest size
