How many paid developers will it have now, and how many did it have at Mozilla?
- geogra4 6y agoRight - unfortunately I feel like this is the most important question. I would have loved for someone with deep pockets like MS to take over servo. (Or even like Alibaba or Tencent)
- paulrouget 6y agoNone at the moment. Help is welcome: https://servo.org/#support-and-donations https://servo.org/#support-and-donations :)
- CodesInChaos 6y agoI have a hard time believing that a project as ambitious as servo can survive without several paid core developers.
- fabrice_d 6y agoLook at the corporate sponsors (that include Samsung and Huawei) - they may provide paid contributors.
- The_rationalist 6y agoI strongly believe that you could get funded by Google if you attempted to port stylo to chromium. Firefox still has state of the art css performance I believe, thanks to stylo.
- Nkuna 6y agoThe same Google that suffers from "Not Invented Here" syndrome? We're talking about a company that literally tried to supplant the defacto language of the web!! Highly doubt it. Besides, nothing's stopping them from porting it without funding the project.
- pjmlp 6y agoFirst the Chrome team needs to be convinced to use Rust. They have done some exploratory work, but nothing that shows they would actually do it. They are most likely to just double down on the ongoing C++ lifetimes support on LLVM than switch languages.
