It was never clear to me if Servo was delivering on its promises. Does it deliver significantly better performance than Gecko or Blink? Is the benefit from a cleaner architecture and easier developer experience? Despite that, I was very hopeful that Servo would come through and be all that and more. But then they started focusing on weird tangential stuff like VR rendering and it felt like it had been managed into irrelevance in that way Mozilla seems to do for so many projects (e.g. FirefoxOS). I was also sad when MS chose Chrome over FF. I probably care too much, but these tools are our interface to a lot of the world's information.
- FreeFull 5y agoA bunch of code originally developed for Servo has ended up in Gecko, so it at least has definitely been useful as a testing ground.
