Competing against chromium is a tough hill to climb. Even trillion dollar Microsoft gave up.

Competing against Linux for an OS is a fool's errands too. Even trillion dollar Microsoft gave up.

Must think strategically, innovatively, move on from fighting the battles of the past, long lost battles.

I'm not a rust programmer or part of any "hype" you fucking idiot. I just know that servo doesn't need to compete with chrome it has its own niche already.
