I think it's likelier Rust will have good bindings to Electron before it has a native solution that can *overtake* Electron. Electron and the DOM are *really* good. Building something that could match it, let alone overtake it, requires an several people-years worth of work.

One of the main reasons I hunger for a non-Electron solution is how much resource consumption and (in)security surface area it pulls along for the ride, so embrace-and-hope-to-replace doesn't seem to offer much short-term benefit other than gaining Trojan-horse-style mindshare.

But Electron is rather efficient? When idle it consumes no cpu, and RSS by default is fairly low as well. Not shipping a DOM has many tradeoffs, not in the least cutting corners on accessibility, being able to publish cross-platform, or lack of development tools.
