I think the industry at large is moving in the opposite direction, towards declarative layouts written in code. As an example, for decades, Apple's UI design tooling (Interface Builder) was serialized to XML, but SwiftUI uses a DSL so your interfaces are written in code. I haven't been a web developer professionally for a while, but I've dabbled in React, where you build UI components in JSX, which is an extension of JavaScript. I don't see why Rust couldn't be successful with a similar approach.
