I finally found how to make tooling play nice with non JS server side applications!

Bun can process HTML files and create a bundle automatically, this will also transpile/build dependencies, so you can add npm packages in a script tag for example.

So for example: with a simple bun build --watch **/*.html you can process templates from whatever template engine before initializing whatever web server you're using.

Ok, so this is very early stage but cool:

is a project to build a full " forever" web browser based on and rather than /#Gecko. Even the interface is rendered with Servo.

github.com/versotile-org/verso

Currently there's 23 contributors and a non profit forming to oversee it. There are also nightly releases for testing (remember the "very early stage" bit though!).

Here's their initial launch video (tech starts about 1/2 way through):

Screenshot from the Verso webpage. At the top is an image of a text based cat and the word "Verso" with an old CRT effect. Underneath is the following text:
"Verso is a web browser built on top of the Servo web engine. We aim to explore embedding solutions for Servo while growing it into a mature browser one day. This means we want to experiment with multi-view and multi-window first and then build UI elements entirely from Servo itself. At the moment, Servoshell should provide a better user experience.

Verso is still under development. We don't accept feature requests at the moment, and the whole navigation workflow hasn't been polished yet, either. But if you are interested, feel free to open bug-fix PRs."
