That's not the primary driver of this plan. But it might be a happy side effect.
Servo is still in early stages, we aren't making product plans around it.
- Roodgorf 11y agoIf that were to happen, how big an impact would that have on Firefox OS development? I admittedly don't understand the project too well, but they had to port Gecko to work in Gonk right? Would there be significant overhead getting Servo working under Gonk?
- fabrice_d 11y agoA few things: - currently browser.html runs on top of a gecko runtime (called graphene) which is based on the one we use for FirefoxOS. - getting gecko to work on gonk is not different from adding support for other platforms like linux/mac/windows/android. Basically you need to provide implementation for low level windowing and input events. On non-posix systems there's a bit more to do in the nspr library, but that's not the case for gonk. - we already have a port of servo that runs on gonk. FirefoxOS has been using a 100% html UI since about 4 years, so it has been leading the way here.
- Roodgorf 11y agoVery cool, thanks for the information. I'm obviously more ignorant of Mozilla projects than I even thought.
