I'd like to know how much Tauri is driving interest in Servo. I was ecstatic to see that Servo is using Tauri as a "test client" of sorts.
I thought not much: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/579
Wasn't servo's purpose to essentially be a testing ground for features that would eventually be pushed to Firefox?
That's what happened, but if I remember correctly, it was supposed to be an entirely new engine. I had a lot of hope for it, as the demo looked really promising at the time. It really was what Mozilla needed to get back on track, because to be honest, Firefox was pretty sucky when compared to Chrome at that time. I also liked the idea of inventing a whole programming language for that purpose (Rust), it reminded me o…
Gotta pay out those CEO bonuses somehow.

What happened exactly to Servo? Why it was discontinued?

I would like to see Positron rebooted. Positron is to Firefox what electron is to chromium. https://mykzilla.org/2017/03/08/positron-discontinued/
Was not Servo a super nice thing it would allow better multithreading through Rust's power as compared to old, ancient C++ that everyone and her neighbour says it is so bad? What happened exactly to Servo? Why it was discontinued?
