Anyone knows, what is the progress of migrating to Servo/WebRender? What parts are still in C++, what parts are being rewritten, and what are not?

- finalfantasia 8y agoThey post newsletters[1] about WebRender on a regular basis. [1] https://mozillagfx.wordpress.com/2018/11/15/webrender-newsletter-30/ https://mozillagfx.wordpress.com/2018/11/15/webrender-newsle...
- xvilka 8y agoIt doesn't answer my question though, especially about Servo part and what parts are still C++.
- lern_too_spel 8y agoThey will never migrate to Servo. Servo is a full web browser used as a platform for testing components of a web browser that have been written in Rust like WebRender. GP's comment answers your question about the status of WebRender.
- xvilka 8y agoObviously, I meant the parts of Servo like Stylo for example.
- rebelwebmaster 8y agoStylo has been shipping as part of desktop Firefox since the launch of version 57 last year. And with Firefox for Android since version 60.
- xvilka 8y agoI know about Stylo. But like WebRender it is only a small part of browser engine. I am asking about the rest. No information whatsoever.
