Comment on Ask HN: Rust vs. Go vs. C++ for web-based desktop applications?

Browser engines have good accessibility, good text rendering, and useful Web APIs to play with.

These features are not easy to achieve without using the native toolkit for each platform, or bundling a monolithic cross-platform framework.
