Electron or something Electron-like with Servo embedded could be a nice outcome. Tauri already fills that niche a bit, but uses whatever the OS provides, rather than embedding anything. Would be nice with something in-between that.

Tauri is actually adding experimental Servo support.

Oh wow, I wasn't aware of this! So proper embedded cross-platform engine into the final binary? That'd be awesome.

Yep, embedding the Servo engine into the final binary. This work is sponsored by another (separate) NLnet grant:
