of course they only support HTML+JS.

WebAssembly is becoming more popular, which lets you run code written in languages other than JavaScript in a browser. It's not possible to do everything yet, so you still need some JS code and a bridge between the WASM and JS, but it's getting there. Emulators that run in the browser often use it.

I don't think, there's currently any plans to introduce a non-JS API for accessing the DOM. It would just take an insane amount of implementation work + documentation.

But frameworks can generate access code for you, so you don't actually need to write any JS yourself. Rust is quite far ahead in this regard, thanks to the wasm-bindgen library.
