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?
Now it's going again, I think this could happen again in future.
Googling servo and raspberry together gives a lot of hardware projects with motors, even when including mozilla in the query.
Did anybody here made it run on a Pi?

> And I was particularly disappointed when Mozilla laid off the Servo team, I feel they let go of the most important thing they had. Gotta pay out those CEO bonuses somehow. In a sick plot twist Mozilla gets shocked back to its senses, re-hires the team, restarts the effort to replace Gecko with Servo, and Firefox finally lives up to its potential. (I wish.)

Then Mozilla had a sustainability crisis and - imho unwisely - decided that one of the things that they could do without in the future was the Servo team.
Without funding Servo effectively was put into sleep mode since people need to eat. Then it got donated to the Linux foundation and got new funding and progress has started again.
If we want a secure rendering engine we could leverage code checks.
It's all there. The meme of Rust equals safety (or C equals I safety) has to go away.
Servo is a waste of time. If we want a fast rendering engine, Mozilla already has it. If we want a secure rendering engine we could leverage code checks. It's all there. The meme of Rust equals safety (or C equals I safety) has to go away.
Especially if they can dial it in with tauri as a viable electron/blink alternative.

I would like to see Positron rebooted. Positron is to Firefox what electron is to chromium. https://mykzilla.org/2017/03/08/positron-discontinued/
