This is intriguing.

Why not embedding a browser directly though?

How do you feel about the Flutter based UI Widgets? (https://github.com/UIWidgets/com.unity.uiwidgets)

In my experience there are two kinds of games: UI is the game or UI supports the game. When UI is the game, the performance bottleneck is almost always text rendering. From a DX POV there are many solutions, but from a performance POV, how can anyone compete with Skia or the native text APIs?

I feel that no one can compete with Skia in terms of feature-richness. But performance, it'll really depend on the environment, hardware, and what you are doing.

Unity's UI Toolkit, for example, is mesh and shader-based, so it can be highly performant for complex UIs.

Interesting note: If you use OneJS with the NodeJS backend, you can use the wasm version of Skia and render all kinds of cool stuff onto a texture in Unity. Obviously the performance with that is not ideal for animation. But I was able to quickly and easily render music notations and charts on my deployed Unity app on Android using that method.

Mostly to avoid overheads on both disk space and runtime performance. QuickJS is only ~20MB to embed. And I have no experience with Flutter, unfortunately. =/
