Hi @Burvs! The Directus v12 Studio redesign is not related to the RUST rebuild. That project is a separate product called Monospace that is currently in preview. Directus continues to be built on TypeScript (Node.js) and Vue. The Directus v12 redesign is a structural update to the Studio’s core layout: the module bar, navigation, header, and sidebar. The goal has been to modernize the interface. The update provides a visual foundation for the new draft and publishing workflows included in v12 as well as other content editing workflow improvements that are slated for later releases. We’re looking forward to getting v12 into your hands very soon! Let us know if you have any other questions.
