Will Rust replace all C and C++ in FF codebase? Edit: Sorry if this was stupid question.

  No, the plan is to deploy it in targeted areas where doing so would have a clear benefit. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Oxidation https://wiki.mozilla.org/Oxidation

    Does anyone know if this project is still on going? I saw no plan for 2021 and no updates after version 73 or so.

      I think the major integrations of pieces of servo have been done, but that new projects and rewrites of existing components will continue to evaluate Rust as an option going forwards.

      Yes it is. WebRender shipped a few releases back.

  Never.

    There's no current plan to do that, but never is a long time.
