@33MHz gotcha. I haven't spent time with Rust but I got the impression that Rust wasn't fully there as a language yet. I suppose if they are going to make it a power house language then a big project is what it needs.
@33MHz Servo is their pure-Rust next gen renderer. Will lay Gecko to rest. Previews are available now, with a cute Doge icon on the app bundle. @thrrgilag
@jws yeah. They're building it in parallel so presumably things will merge progressively. Just seems silly to work so hard to match Chrome, while making a massive effort to replace everything. Ofc, the rust parts are low level, so no diff.
@33MHz Exposing a lot of internal API to extensions probably tied their hands for evolving Firefox. I'm waiting to see what I lose when the old add-ons finally stop working.
