      Mozilla has used this time to invent a new programming language & write a new browser – which is still far from usable – in it from scratch.https://twitter.com/cbarrett/status/867761452643471361 …

      We need revenue. What should we do? Rewrite our crown-jewel software from scratch! Wait no. Invent a prog lang. THEN rewrite our software!

      Browsers need to be fast & safe to survive competition. @rustlang finally makes it feasible to aim for both without breaking your neck. 😏

      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.

      Parallel rendering works and is a big win. I’ve verified this over and over again. It would be foolish to not go after it.

          I defer to your expertise and I wish you success! But I also wish there were some tangible, usable product that demonstrated this benefit.

          More immediate wins is why Stylo—the Gecko branch that integrates Servo styling—exists and is under active development.
