One thing that interests me about using Rust for a project like this is modularity. The Rust toolchain makes it so easy to work with separate crates that it feels very natural to split your work at logical points. C++ doesn’t have that kind of baked in toolchain and just the act of downloading and compiling the Chromium code is a pretty intimidating prospect. If I could easily download and test, say, a CSS parsing module that could be really useful outside of regular browser contexts.
