Just makes me more excited for Servo

• eugeneionesco 10y ago
  Why? Servo is just a proof of concept, it won't be the future of Firefox.

    It's definitely not a proof of concept. > Our long-term plan is to: > - Incrementally replace components in Gecko with ones written in Rust and shared with Servo. > - Determine product opportunities for a standalone Servo browser or embeddable library (e.g., for Android). https://github.com/servo/servo/wiki/Roadmap https://github.com/servo/servo/wiki/Roadmap

      Servo is definitely going places but it's not Firefox. It's not looking to be a Gecko replacement, and Gecko is too deeply embedded in FF to swap it out. Sharing code sounds like a good idea though.

        For example, another Mozilla intern I know is working on the project to replace Gecko's CSS style system with Servo's (Stylo). Check the "Oxidation" page on the wiki: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Oxidation https://wiki.mozilla.org/Oxidation
