Looking forward to seeing it displace Electron.

Back in the days, I would have bet on Revery as Electron replacement.

But currently, Tauri seems like a more viable option.

Not soon: however I like ML-style languages, it's JS / TS what has the mass market adoption now.

It's not even the language, it's not much harder to learn than TS. It's the smaller library ecosystem of Reason / OCaml.

But they get a simpler, sounder type system in OCaml as a result which should make maintenance easier for them. Given that they want this style of programming the ergonomics should be a lot easier than TypeScript as well.
