It was a humbling experience coming from Cocoa Touch to say the least. I think it's still early but Piston seems to be working very hard on it (in addition to various other graphics backend for Rust). From what I can tell a lot of the foundational stuff still needs to be built, particularly around layout. The situation with font rendering is also unclear to me because they might be moving away from Freetype (https://github.com/PistonDevelopers/conrod/issues/695 https://github.com/PistonDevelopers/conrod/issues/695).
Qt is an "alternative" to Conrod but it seems that there is a complexity issue with Rust trying to bind to what Qt has created on top of C++.
I consider myself very spoiled by UIKit but I didn't find any alternatives to Conrod so it's the project I will be contributing to and developing with. Feel free to message me if you want a more in-depth breakdown.
