Have any of Mozilla's projects outside of Firefox actually survived for any length of time? Thunderbird? Is Bugzilla still around? I can't think of anything else.
- fenwick67 9y agoMozilla's MDN is the only reliable place (outside of the w3c documents themselves) to get web documentation
- philipwhiuk 9y agoMDN is rapidly becoming Mozilla's core product to me.
- pcwalton 9y agoRust.
- IncRnd 9y agoThe first stable 1.0 release of Rust was in 2015, less than three years ago. I believe GP's point is that Mozillas projects come and Mozillas projects go, that FF may be the only one that is still around after some time. Rust doesn't yet meet those criteria.
- pcwalton 9y agoRust has been in development since like 2009.
- fabrice_d 9y agoAnd Rust is probably the most likely to survive to a Mozilla crash because it has a strong non-moco-staff community.
- IncRnd 9y agoYes, it has. However, the first stable v1.0 version was in 2015.
- pcwalton 9y agoThis is a silly argument. Do you think Rust is not going to "survive for any length of time" (the OP's quote)?
- IncRnd 9y agoYes. This is getting silly. > Do you think Rust is not going to "survive for any length of time" (the OP's quote)? That was not a quote of the OP, which was "survived" in the past tense. Hence, my comment. You are talking about the future of how long you believe Rust will last, not about how long other technologies have failed to last. Please, drop this. It is becoming nonsensical.
