Here's hoping EdgeHTML will also get open sourced. I know they've talked about it internally.

  What exactly is it?

    The rendering engine in MS Edge. (Like Gecko, Blink, WebCore (Webkit), Trident.) A fork of Trident stripped of some legacy code.

    It's their most recent browser engine.

  Considering how deeply Windows-specific EdgeHTML is likely to be, I don't think open-sourcing it would be very useful, unless someone wants to backport it to Windows 7 and 8.1. I'd rather Microsoft allowed developers to embed EdgeHTML in Win32 desktop applications running on Windows 10.

    Hi. Chakra developer here. I don't speak for the Edge team, but there is a blog out that indicates it is already possible to embed EdgeHTML via the WebView control in Universal Platform apps: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2015/08/27/creating-your-own-browser-with-html-and-javascript/ https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2015/08/27/creating-your... I know that doesn't entirely address your wish, but it's a step in the right direction. :P

      I'd be most interested in using it in an Atom Electron app :) Given VS Code's use of electron, do you know if anyone internally has given a whack at swapping webkit for edgeHTML?
