Can you also offer a Zip package? (portable) Why only this MSI package?
See speps answer here - msi allows direct zip extraction:

Re: Servo nightly builds on Windows now available
#32VCRUNTIME140.dll required Why are open source projects built with Visual Studio these days? Especially as binaries built with VS2015 (release and up to service pack 2) are known to phone home "by accident". There are the GNU, Mingw, Msys, LLVM options on Windows - completely open source. Offer binary builds with at least one of these compilers on Windows platform.
like it or not, VC is a very good compiler and a windows standard, and since not exactly recently, available for free for personal use. you don't have to use visual studio in order to compile software with cl.

#33I 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://gith…
It's the 28th most common surname in Sweden (Bergström, that is). Tons of people in the northeast (Edit: Northern midwest rather) US have Swedish names.

#34After 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 [1]: https://youtu.be/U…
I'm hoping for Servo-based alternative to Electron. If it could deliver some performance/memory improvements it would be good advertisement for the project, and also for Rust. Not sure if that's realistic, Servo app ran on macOS takes about 200MB of RAM usage.
And slack on my macOS takes 800 mb. And WhatsApp as well. And Discord.

#35I can't wait for people to start using this instead of chrome/electron to make desktop web apps. As much as I understand the philosophical (and at this point pragmatic) arguments against electron, there's something to be said about making deadlines and using technology your developers know well.
Not just for Electron, but also for embedded webviews on Android. Especially considering how Servo seems to be mostly lagging behind in supporting all the tiny edge cases and workarounds necessary for older sites, but not necessarily for modern web apps built specifically for it.
And then hopefully people will start to notice that some of those applications are much faster on Android than they are on iOS, and Apple will allow other webviews than WebKit on there.

#36Doesn't even launch. The window appears very briefly then closes immediately. If any of the maintainers are here let me know how can I help you with this. I'm on Windows 10 version 1703 (OS Build 15063.13) x64
Same here. There don't seem to be any command line options to help debug it either. Even `servo --help` didn't print anything.

> every 5th german is named lars
That is completely untrue. Lars isn't exactly a rare name in Germany, but I'd be surprised if it was even one of the 20 most common first names. It's definitely nowhere near 1/5th of the population.

What is the back story behind them having swedish surnames?

Alot of swedes emigrated to the US around 1800-1900s and spread all over the country. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_emigration_to_the_Unit...
