Web rendering would be Blink, with V8 being the JavaScript engine. I believe they have their own UI rendering process.
I know of another company that does something similar for the UI process, but with WebKit instead as the base:

Ode to the M1
What I'd really like to see with CEF et al, is JS being dropped, in favor of directly controlling the DOM from the host language. Then we could, for example, write a Rust (or Kotlin, Zig, Haskell, etc) desktop application that simply directly manipulated the DOM, and had it rendered by a HTML+CSS layout engine. Folks could then write a React-like framework for that language (to help render & re-render the DOM in an elegant way).
Ultralight (https://ultralig.ht/) looks pretty cool. I think another possible option is Servo (https://github.com/servo/servo) – it was abandoned by Mozilla along with Rust during their layoffs a while back (but the project still seems to have a decent bit of activity). It would be great if some group of devs could revive the project, or a company could fund such a revival.
Eventually, we'll need to reflect on, and explore whether HTML+CSS is really the best way to do layout, and we could maybe perhaps consider proting the Android/iOS layout approach over to desktop.

Anselm's Jazz Distributed Infrastructure Framework
I'm curious if the project will be open-source or do you have plans to go the Awesomium/Ultralight route with both open/closed sources and volume licenses? Or do you plan to offer commercial support services like other open source software?

Best cross-platform (Win, Mac, Linux) desktop frameworks?
I’m not tied to any language, but it needs to be able to wrap a c++ library. I started with .NET 7 MAUI - no linux support & very mobile focused. Tried out Electron. Wins on ease and usability, but has massive overhead. (Basic “Hello world” executable compiled to over 200mb) I then discovered Ultralight (https://ultralig.ht/). Big win on size, but was last updated 3 years ago.

Remember when this was 0% and 70 mb? This is comical.

Digital Audio Workstation Front End Development Struggles
I agree web stuff is really the best way to develop UIs. Good luck making responsive stuff in C++ for example. The paradigm of HTML, CSS, and JS is extremely powerful and even allows you to use canvas, webgpu, wasm.
There are multiple commercial projects that use web dev paradigm for GUIs:

what do you think about alternative browser engines?
Nice review, thanks! There are also: Ultralight (based on Webkit), LiteHTML, Tkhtml3 and Lobo Evolution. See also timeline of web engines.

Exploring the Best UI Component Libraries for React Native apps
Tamagui is a UI kit that aims to bridge the gap between React and React Native applications by addressing the fundamental parts of an app, such as styling, theming, and cross-platform components, while keeping app performance in mind. It utilizes an optimizing compiler to significantly improve performance by hoisting objects and CSS at build-time. Its main advantage is that it creates a consistent design system across web and native platforms. Some major highlights of Tamagui are:

Creating a reusable Design System between React and React Native with Tamagui
Many times, while developing mobile applications with React Native, I have thought about the possibility of reusing components in both web and mobile contexts. Recently, I came across a library called Tamagui that allows components to be shared in both React Web and React Native.

Any Apple/Modern/Minimalistic Style UI Libraries for Svelte?
Hello. I'm looking for a Svelte UI component library with a minimalistic modern look like NextUI or Tamagui. Preferably not looking for something that looks like Material UI or a Shadcn-UI clone. Tailwind would be a plus.
