You do realize Rust is a big part of the reason Firefox is more competitive past v57 than it ever was, right?
- jacquesm 6y agoYes, but that still does not make Rust a product for Mozilla. Mozilla should spin Rust out ASAP so they can focus on their core. Rust has enough momentum now that it does not need Mozilla attention to keep it afloat. Or at least, that's the impression I'm getting, if that's not the case then my apologies. The fact that Mozilla is a browser company seems to be well known everywhere except at Mozilla. I find this odd. The word 'browser' is mentioned exactly once in that corporate message and it is in a negative way, 'beyond the browser'. Not exactly inspiring hope, that one.

- jacquesm 6y agoGood. That will at least make sure that something good will come of all this.
