GTK and custom themes - what really happened
That said, I'm not totally convinced about SixtyFPS today. There are some other interesting options that are suitable GUI toolkits for Rust. Such as OrbTk and Iced. Each toolkit is approaching the GUI space in a different way, so it'll be interesting to see where we end up in a few more years. QML-esque SixtyFPS, ECS-based OrbTk, Elm-based Iced, and a few others out there.

Pop should join this new GTK fork
What's written in this article isn't the development of a GTK fork, but some reasoning for exploring alternatives to GTK. There aren't very many suitable candidates in this space, but Rust GUI toolkits like Iced have potential. Personally, I would add that OrbTk is also a suitable candidate.

Any stable crate to develop a cross-platform Rust desktop app?
I use orbtk, it is pretty easy to use, has an active dev team, works on windows mac and linux, and cross compiling from linux to windows is also easy with it. It is still pretty beta, but depending on the project you need it could work. (https://github.com/redox-os/orbtk)

Cross platform native guis in rust
Orbtk is an option. The default is backend is orbraq, which uses OrbClient. OrbClient will use SDL on Linux, and on Redox it should be a "pure" rust experience.

macOS Apps in Rust
Rust has RAII so you can have retain on 'clone' operations and release on drops, just like the native Rc/Arc types do.
This is, incidentally, how the servo bindings to core-foundation work (I prefer those bindings where there is overlap).
Servo bindings: https://github.com/servo/core-foundation-rs

For Mac fans, the closest you'll have to this in OS-X is core-foundation-rs[1], by the servo team.
