Here's how I think of it: What's the biggest risk to Servo? I think most people would answer that (besides it being a lot of work), as it's a big boil-the-ocean project, there's a lot of newly-written code that hasn't been battle-tested yet. How do we fix that? By getting early user adoption on pieces when they're ready, so we can shake out the issues. Quantum is the perfect way to do that.
Of course, I happen to care about Firefox's success too, so getting great features to Firefox users as soon as possible is also a big win from Quantum. :)
- allendoerfer 10y agoThe competition in the browser market is much harder than for example the market of programming languages and even there big version bumps have huge costs. If you can avoid it, you don't want all your resources tied to Perl 6, PHP 6, Python 3 and so on, while your users are complaining because the usable version of your software does not improve any longer.
