Objective-C shares calling conventions and struct layout with C, so theoretically you could directly call the system frameworks from Rust via extern "C" functions.

Not even theoretically, the bindings for the runtime are out there [1] with some nifty helper macros.

It'd be super cool to see a 100% Rust (with extern "C" calls) Hello, world! iOS compatible app.
