Masonry 0.1 (Rust GUI framework)
i was gonna bring up https://github.com/redox-os/orbtk only to discover it's no longer under active development.

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.

Rust GUI: Introduction, a.k.a. the state of Rust GUI libraries (As of January 2021)
OrbTK recompiling stuff has been fixed in the development branch as far as I can tell: https://github.com/redox-os/orbtk/pull/409

I like rust but want to use Qt.
Qt classic/widgets? I'm developing Kas to offer vaguely similar features (e.g. data models, theme abstraction, custom widgets with complex event handling), though said event handling and data models are quite different. It's still got a long way to go (so API is not stable), but in case you are interested, I should be dropping a new release tomorrow.

Does a wgpu text renderer exist for Android?
kas-wgpu looks hopeful, but there's very little information about it and I'm not even sure it works on Android.
-
KAS GUI v0.10
Changelog
-
KAS GUI v0.9
The next release will support dynamic linking which approx. halves the recompile time in my quick tests. This is based on Bevy which also recommends using LLD (see here); I didn't have much success with this yet however.

Cross platform native guis in rust
If you want a "native-like" toolkit like Qt but Rust-native, then Druid, KAS and Iced are the most advanced in my opinion (though all are incomplete).
-
KAS GUI v0.7 release
Yes. It was actually a mistake (using a nightly compiler and not realising the lock-in). But in this case (with KAS still in "earlyish development" and the workaround being less concise), I decided to leave it.
-
Type conversion, success expected
This is a little library I've been using recently (original version here).
