A few nits on your description: WebRender is the library which performs parallel GPU-based rendering of web content and was initially developed as an experimental backend for Servo. Quantum is the name of the project which aims to merge Servo components into Firefox.
- gsnedders 9y ago> Quantum is the name of the project which aims to merge Servo components into Firefox. Quantum is more general than that: it's a project that aims to vastly improve Gecko through incremental improvement. Some of that involves taking Servo components, but other parts don't. (including Quantum DOM, separating JS runtimes into different threads instead of having one per content process; and Quantum Flow aiming at user-perceived performance).
- 52-6F-62 9y agoThat's really interesting. I was curious about Servo, but it ultimately ran terribly for me and so I (in my bustle) deigned it an experiment too early to spend time assessing -- since I'm not very experience with Rust. Do you have any good resources here -- if for nothing else but to feed my, and anybody else's curiosity?
