Depends on how dependent it is on the javascript engine. Servo unfortunately was inseperable from js.

Can you give more information (link?) about why Servo was inseparable from JS?

Servo has JavaScript own and collect the DOM nodes. At least, it did in 2014. https://research.mozilla.org/2014/08/26/javascript-servos-on...

That was very early in the project, but moreover, I would expect that simply means that Servo can allow someone else to own DOM nodes; not that it depends on a JS implementation specifically, no?
