Todd Ditchendorf added,
We need revenue. What should we do? Rewrite our crown-jewel software from scratch! Wait no. Invent a prog lang. THEN rewrite our software!
Rust may be the greatest thing since sliced bread. But talk is cheap, & Servo's performance today is far from impressive to the average user
The last time I checked Servo’s WebRender was pretty fast. Incomplete, sure. But fast, no? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11175258 … cc @pcwalton
Well that post is over 1yr old… Try downloading Servo nightly & loading Reddit & resizing the window. That's what I mean by talk is cheap.
Or if "resizing the window" is somehow unfair, just look at the quality of the rendered page. Or try to focus any text field and enter text.
And I'd say Chrome is rendering Reddit perfectly, nearly instantaneously, and about 3x as fast as the Servo nightly.
By what measurements?
Well, just my eyes. But that's the same measurement 99% of the users will judge it by. The difference today is very very very stark.
Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.
