Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think they mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Suffix_List

So they achieved a 25% performance increase all from better parsing and a better algorithm for this[1] list? That's unexpected indead. I would love to see a blogpost with details on that. [1] https://publicsuffix.org/list/public_suffix_list.dat

Hey, maybe this isn't the right place but i wouldn't know where else to ask this question: I'd like to get into Rust development and maybe help out with Servo (because it seems like an awesome project) but i have very limited experience with c/c++ (arduino and openframeworks). What is a good way/place to get comfortable with Rust? (I am using Windows, can you even develop with Rust on Windows?)

https://servo.org also has a "Contributing" section, which links to bugs tagged as "easy" for new contributors.

Are they doing security testing as they go? I'm really looking forward to seeing how it fares against the typical "use after free" javascript errors that pwn to own always demo's. I'm not particularly a fan of Rust, but I certainly like the ideas that they are trying to incorporate in it.

Great stuff. Looking forward to see how it evolves.

It compares Servo daily builds against Firefox for page load on a subset of the Alexa Top 1000 sites. Check it out! I don't understand the graphs under the link. Under all colors it says "servo" and "linux64". So what is Firefox (gecko), what servo?

The yellow and green have gecko at the start of the title in the key.

New colours every time you reload the page..

The colors actually change after each page refresh

There's a helper page for this: https://starters.servo.org/

I'm currently reading this: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ It's very nice, and the people on IRC are extremely helpful.

I've found the Rust IRC channel to be awesome too!

Yes, you can develop in rust on Windows. There's even a Visual Studio extension for rust: https://github.com/PistonDevelopers/VisualRust
