Efficient custom shapes in QtQuick with Rust

I use to love C++/Qt widgets for cross platform gui programming. Right now I'm learning Rust and it looks like that GTK is the best option for GUI programming in Rust. Can someone tell me what toolkit should I learn for Rust? Should learn a Rusty Gui toolkit?

Being a Rust noob myself I've found that Rust is generally 'not GUI yet' [0]. With my background in web development the most promising avenue ATM seems to be web-view[1], for me at least.

There is also qmetaobject-rs for rust bindings to Qt. Not sure it can be used with Qt Widgets (I'm never really used Qt Widgets) but for QML bindings it works well enough.

I personally really like iced.
