- notanote 10y agoThey have done so recently, mp4parse-rust is a replacement for the old mp4 metadata parser. https://github.com/mozilla/mp4parse-rust https://github.com/mozilla/mp4parse-rust
- mastax 10y agoThere are already bits of Rust code in newer builds of firefox, I think they'll ship first in 47 or 48. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Oxidation https://wiki.mozilla.org/Oxidation Servo is a fantastic research project but it will be a while before it is "production ready".
