Parts of Servo are being migrated to Firefox. IIRC, Quantum Compositor, mentioned in the blog post, is one of them - you can start using it today!

- mccr8 9y agoQuantum Compositor is just a separate process for GPU stuff. It isn't ported from Servo.
- hackuser 9y agoIt's the same name as the Servo porting project. I could see that creating the separate process is a first step and involves no Servo code as of yet, but how do you know either way?

- BuuQu9hu 9y agoIt's literally ported from Servo. > The goal of the Quantum Render project is to take the WebRender compositor in Servo and embed it in Firefox https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/GFX/Quantum_Render https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/GFX/Quantum_Render
- dblohm7 9y agoThat's Quantum Render, not Quantum Compositor.
- hackuser 9y agoThe meaning of "Quantum" is a bit confusing. I thought it was only Servo ports, but after I read your post I looked around and found this. I guess it's any improvement to Gecko? "Quantum has a number of components, including several adopted from the Servo project." https://medium.com/mozilla-tech/a-quantum-leap-for-the-web-a3b7174b3c12 https://medium.com/mozilla-tech/a-quantum-leap-for-the-web-a...
- dblohm7 9y agoQuantum is the umbrella, if you will, under which a bunch of performance focused subprojects are being developed. Some of them (Quantum Render, Quantum CSS) are importing Servo components (WebRender and Stylo, respectively), while others (Quantum DOM, Quantum Compositor, Quantum Flow) are serious surgery on existing Gecko components.
