There’s actually quite a lot of interesting work going on in that general space, has been in various forms for some years. A couple that immediately spring to mind:

• Azul <https://azul.rs/> builds on WebRender, as used in Firefox. I haven’t looked at it for a few years, but it looks to have grown quite interesting now.

• Blitz <https://github.com/DioxusLabs/blitz> is based on from-scratch implementations of CSS layout and rendering, and wgpu rendering. It’s not usable yet, but is a very interesting concept. If one happens to be familiar with React Native: it’s kinda like that, or React Native Web.

React Native Web is a bit like scratching your left ear with your right arm :)

Actually, forget the React Native Web thing, I think I was mixing it up with something from a few years back that was more the other way round (running React web stuff on React Native, not running React Native on web).

React Native Web… eh, it has a potential place. Maybe like scratching your left ear with your right arm, because your left arm is partially paralysed, or something!
