Will this include iOS devices too?
This is great news for the language as it's going to help make sure a wider array of architectures are supported.
Awesome work!
- kevincox 10y agoI presume not because IIUC the actual video decoding would be handled by iOS's built in webkit. However I would expect that some rust components would make it to the iOS Firefox in the future.
- TazeTSchnitzel 10y agoFirefox for iOS itself is written in Swift.
- guelo 10y agoFirefox for iOS is just a wrapper around webkit since Apple refuses to allow any alternate engines.
- masklinn 10y agoIIRC, technically alternate (rendering) engines are allowed but you can only execute downloaded code using the system's webkit/JSC (and if you didn't you'd be restricted to a straight interpreter).
- cpeterso 10y agoNo, but Rust code in Gecko will eventually run on Firefox for Android.
