You implement your application logic in Rust and communicate with the UI
by emitting and listening to events. The end result is a cross-platform desktop

The next challenge was `greet` is an async function, so it returns a promise,

there is the less simple [lustre.application] that adds effects. After looking
at some existing code I was finally able to come up with a working solution.

I added a `Greet` message for when the "Greet" button is clicked. In the `update`
function that doesn't update the model but calls `get_greeting` as its
side-effect. That builds an `Effect` from `do_get_greeting`, which calls the
FFI function and maps the `Result` to a `GotGreeting` message containing the
greeting or an error message.
`update` handles the `GotGreeting` message by updating the model, which in
`update` then handles the `GotGreeting` message by updating the model, which in
turn updates the UI. I'm skipping over the `Model`, `view`, `update`
