> P.S. Why do you think Mozilla doesn’t use Rust for their DOM tree implementation, and instead relies on the JavaScript runtime and it’s GC? Don’t you think sometimes other people might also want DOM-like structures in their apps, be it for a web page, XML document, objects hierarchy in 3D space, or any other kind of data?

Nothing prevents you from writing a DOM tree in Rust, but when in comes to the Web DOM you need to interact with JavaScript and with the JS GC no matter what you do. How is DOM managed in other browsers written in C++ ? I would be surprised if it wasn't also handled by the JavaScript runtime.
