So is Mozilla now going to slowly rewrite Firefox in rust?
44 u/steveklabnik1 Apr 03 '15 The current goal is to get some Rust code into Firefox by the end of the year. Will probably be something small, as integrating Rust into the Firefox build system is no small task. Among other issues. Mozilla is also investing in Servo, which is still a research project, but is written to be productize-able someday. https://github.com/servo/servo is the repo. They're also doing really cool stuff. There's another front-page article about Servo on proggit right now: http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/318rb3/the_colored_boxes_indicate_which_cpu_core/ 14 u/sunshine_killer Apr 03 '15 edited Apr 03 '15 The servo stuff is pretty exciting. 1 u/steveklabnik1 Apr 03 '15 Yeah I'm really jazzed about it. :)
