No, I have not written a GUI in Rust yet. I've been doing libraries and CLIs so far. But I find the standard approaches to GUI broken: inheritance and shared mutable state. i think Rust does a service by highlighting the brittleness of this pattern via syntax / libraries. I've not dealt with elm-like GUIs. Probably my natural inclination would be to use an actor framework. And to be clear, I am speaking from having written non-trivial GUIs with both GTK and Qt (I miss the Maemo days).
