Rusty revenant Servo returns to render once more
> As well as being independent of any browser vendor, it is designed to be embeddable, memory-safe, modular, and parallel.How does Gecko (the engine used in Firefox) fare on being embedded? I thought it wasn't as easy or simple, and hence one of the reasons why Chromium dominated in things like Electron.I can't square these two statements in the article:> Servo has been around for about a decade, so as experimental software projects go, it's a mature one.> It still can't pass the Web Standards Project ACID tests, which way back in 2008 WebKit was the first browser to successfully handle, so there's clearly some way to go yet.I thought the goal of Servo, while it was incubated and paid for by Mozilla, was to absorb parts of it into Firefox over several years (or across decades) since this is a humongous undertaking. It's still painful to see Mozilla's revenues (mostly from Google) and how keeping Servo around could've helped in making a better browser, sooner (compared to current Firefox development).
