Re: Servo nightly builds on Windows now available
#2I loved reading https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/12125. It is a great example of open source persistence despite it not being a priority. Things move forward at snail pace and stalls multiple times. Just when all hope seems lost, they manage to ship it ! This is the case with most opensource projects - things take their own sweet time but they eventually somehow manage.
On a side note, I noted that https://github.com/larsbergstrom owns lars.com. Wow! I wonder how much that is worth given that every 5th german is named lars ;) (though strom seems to indicate he is norwegian)

#3This project has moved real slowly but keep remembering how often Eich referred to this as the most important aspect of Mozilla.

#4After seeing a youtube demo[[1] of how the aggressive parallelisation that is done in Servo (safely possible by using Rust) speeds up this browser, i'm really excited for Servo! Also, i think this will give us a great base for all kinds of browser embedding what is not based on ancient webkit-gtk.
There is another nice presentation on Rust and Servo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7q9vIMXSTzc

#5I just tried it out. It froze when looking at a reddit comments page, it froze when I tried to use the URL bar. Pretty exciting nonetheless.

#6A *.zip file would be useful for users who do not have admin privileges, as well as people who do not like giving elevated access to development software and who do not have access to a development computer nor a virtual environment.

#7Tried Servo in Linux, even though the browser is slow in starting up, the page was loading very fast and scrolling the page is butter smooth! This Servo with Rust will redefine Browser and i wish this will restore the Crown back to Mozilla Firefox!

#8Very, very nonresponsive. Sometimes when I press a letter in a form, it won't respond at all, but when I press it again, it will show up... and then when I press the next letter, the previous letter shows up. Which I thought was strange behavior.
EDIT: When I say "won't respond at all," I counted to 30 before the next keypress eventually just to verify I was really seeing what I was seeing.

Talking is easy, Coding is Hard. Servo is still the most important aspect of Mozilla in terms of Security and Speed, I really think after the full development it will definitely beat the Google Chrome.

Did you build with --release flag?
