Linux (and macOS) should work on Firefox Nightly. For both, the Valve services are currently in beta and we can't really ship something that relies on beta drivers past our own beta releases. If you encounter any bugs on Linux or macOS

Artists are doing amazing things on the Sketchfab platform and (as a browser implementer) I'm continually impressed by how hard their team is working to make their viewers work well in all the browsers! It's particularly hard with

I'm not quite ready to throw in the towel yet, though that's certainly a sentiment I hear a lot of around town :-) As technology shifts to a world where most people do not have a monitor on their home computer or a screen on their

The awesome avadacatavra is working on a plan right now to move us off of OpenSSL: https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/7888#issuecomment-2934... TBH, it's been hard to prioritize work to fix OpenSSL is

I get an inquiry to buy lars.com about once a month, but never anything more than a few 10ks. Which is a lot of money, but the hourly rate doesn't work out very well when you consider I've been using and would have to update that

It's wonderful to see this released! There was so much great research going on here that overlapped with work we were doing in Manticore and that was going on in other optimizing compilers for statically typed high-level languages, but

You can hear a bunch more about the full history of development of SML and interaction with OCaml here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVEgyJCTee4 I would definitely agree with the opinion above that the SML language desig

Project Quantum is an opportunity to ship some of the Servo components in Firefox and gain millions of users, real-world tests of the technology, and hopefully dramatically expand our contributor base. As we mention in a post to the Servo m

There are a couple of big pieces of work here: 1) Making the "cargo vendor" story work better. rust-url has a bunch of dependencies, and you have to get them all in-tree. 2) More security review & planning. URL parsing is scar

I think it's worthwhile! Lack of a comprehensive test suite means: 1) There are seem to still be regressions in pretty fundamental stuff when new features are added. Usually caught before things reach "release" trains, but I

We're hoping for days, but it needs a lot more testing. We're (unfortunately, due to some font-related issues) still building Windows with the mingw toolchain, which makes build & packaging more complicated.

I can't recommend Reviewable highly enough! We've been using it for a long time now on Servo ( https://github.com/servo/servo/ ). The author has been amazingly responsive with fixing bugs, dealing with Git

I'd like to echo this comment. Piotr has been amazingly responsive to problems with bugs or performance issues that we have hit (the Mozilla Servo team). Apart from the UI, Reviewable also handles many of the really ugly "they did

We also try to have good starter bugs on Servo (and its myriad dependencies): http://servo.github.io/servo-starters/ One of the biggest challenges we have is keeping some around and available! The good ones almost alwa

Baby steps! We're first trying to figure out how we can share components written in Rust - ideas people have had are URL parsing, media container parsing, image decoding, etc. If (when!) Servo continues to execute well, plans for integ
