After seeing a youtube demo[[1] of how the aggressive parallelisation that is done in Servo (safely possible by using Rust) speeds up this browser, i'm really excited for Servo! Also, i think this will give us a great base for all kinds of browser embedding what is not based on ancient webkit-gtk. There is another nice presentation on Rust and Servo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7q9vIMXSTzc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7q9vIMXSTzc [1]: https://youtu.be/UGl9VVIOo3E?t=1019 https://youtu.be/UGl9VVIOo3E?t=1019

I'm hoping for Servo-based alternative to Electron. If it could deliver some performance/memory improvements it would be good advertisement for the project, and also for Rust. Not sure if that's realistic, Servo app ran on macOS takes about 200MB of RAM usage.

  And slack on my macOS takes 800 mb. And WhatsApp as well. And Discord.

  Servo isn't going to use any less CPU than other rendering engines, it will just be able to increase user-visible performance significantly by reducing latency by making better use of multiple cores.
