> Servo was supposed to be the promise of better security in a new browser thanks to Rust. Unfortunately in reality that was just either hype or it was just slow moving progress or perhaps both. AIUI, Servo started as a project to prove out Rust that would also be a research testing ground for working on prototypes to improve aspects of Firefox. I don't think Servo was ever intended to be a browser on its own. Although others may have imputed that goal on to the project. (I wasn't involved in Servo, but was in Rust, so was pretty adjacent to it.)
