I don't think scenic is written in Rust. A big chunk of the source code in the topaz layer (the view layer) is still written in dart. With that said, many were actually surprised when it was revealed that ermine (the new fuchsia shell)

Polymer is not a polyfill for the standards. It's just a library for creating web components in a less boilerplatey manner. The polyfill library is called webcomponents.js.
