Maybe it would be worth looking at emacs-ng
https://github.com/emacs-ng/emacs-ng
The README lists the feature
Webrender
WebRender is a GPU-based 2D rendering engine written in Rust from
Mozilla. Firefox, the research web browser Servo, and other GUI
frameworks draw with it. emacs-ng use it as a new experimental graphic
backend to leverage GPU hardware.
