I'd like to see rust bindings to the DOM. HTML and CSS are actually pretty good for representing UIs, the bottleneck is JS. I think it'd be interesting to build a desktop ui based on Servo.

I'd like to do this as well.

One of Servo's 2017 goals is to "Determine product opportunities for a standalone Servo browser or embeddable library." I'm following this very closely. I'd love to use a Rust equivalent of Electron in some projects.

I think Servo has much greater potential to be a viable high-end gaming platform than Firefox[0] (sans Quantum). HTML/CSS/JS UI with WebRender and some 3D rendering API which is not susceptible to bad GC pauses looks like the holy grail of game programming to me.
