There's plenty of Rust in Firefox, see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Oxidation https://wiki.mozilla.org/Oxidation You might be thinking of Servo, which is a (purely

  If you look at the actual LOC stats (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1flUGg6Ut4bjtyWdyH_9emD9EAN01ljTAVft2S4Dq620/edit?gid=885787479#gid=885787479 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1flUGg6Ut4bjtyWdyH_9e...), the rate at which the percentage of Rust code increases is pretty glacial: at the beginning of 2019 it was around 8%, mid 2020 (when the table ends) it got to ~ 12%. And today it's apparently at 11.4% (https://4e6.github.io/firefox-lang-stats/ https://4e6.github.io/firefox-lang-stats/) - although I'm not sure if this is an apples-to-apples comparison, as the table compared Rust vs. C/C++, while the pie chart includes all code - incl. HTML, JS etc. If I take just the Rust and C/C++ from the pie chart, Rust would be at ~ 22%.

    Firefox is something like 22 million lines of code, there's no way to make a dent in that at a pace that doesn't seem relatively glacial
