Servo is by far the technology I'm most excited about as a frontend developer. It will be a complete game changer for web performance once all the pieces are in place.
- pcwalton 9y agoThere isn't really a main thread in Servo, because WebRender, layout, and JS/DOM per origin all live in separate threads.
- tmzt 9y agoWould you consider exposing an RPC interface to JavaScript and/or WASM to enable faster vdom operations? Also, after reading that old HN comment, do you think adding something like RenderEvent with values like client size already defined would make sense? Servo feels like a great platform for experiments like this which, if successful, could move into Firefox.
