>If I could write an app in a good static-compiled language that did not require extraneous expertise in CSS but that shipped on a web page and looked good using tools only in that language, with good interop with an HTML Canvas, that would be one possibility, but it is again a compromise -- no easy multithreading, dealing with all the front-end baggage to bundle or deploy such an app, etc. Rust/Yew may be what you're looking for. It takes all the good ideas of web UIs (namely declarative FRP) and works cross platform natively, as well as compiling to WASM for the browser. https://yew.rs/docs/concepts/function-components https://yew.rs/docs/concepts/function-components
