Not as much as Rust has, though. I'd be hard pressed to go back to C-land now. I'm surprised they wouldn't consider a greenfield component (HTTP/3) a good candidate for it, sad.
- anderspitman 5y agoI was going to respond to parent with "or just write it in Rust /s" but I should have known better. For a greenfield component I do kind of agree though. I wonder does Mozilla still have the in-house Rust expertise for something like that after the layoffs?
- steveklabnik 5y agoMozilla has a Rust QUIC implementation (one of three good ones in Rust) https://github.com/mozilla/neqo https://github.com/mozilla/neqo I'm not sure why it's not used here.
- dralley 5y agoMozilla didn't lay off all their engineers using Rust. Just the ones whose primary job was working on Rust (as opposed to Rust components in Firefox). They still have tons of in-house Rust expertise.
- anderspitman 5y agoI wonder if they still have the in-house expertise to know what in-house expertise they have.
- pjmlp 5y agoOn the contrary, the tooling ecosystem is huge with 50 years of history. Naturally most of it isn't free beer.
