- Servo uses mozjs which is just rust bindings for SpiderMonkey which is still C++.
All this effort to use rust and yet they would not rewrite the JS engine which is the biggest attack surface for memory vulns.

It’s apparently still not ready to be used as a browser engine (and may never be), so what exactly is it for?
by p-e-w - Any idea how much this has cost them?
Some non-profits have their HQ in the valley and pay SF salaries when they could just as well have paid a fraction of that to a very competent developer elsewhere.
by throwa356262 - I really wish a patron would step up and sponsor this project. Not just by money, but also by plugging it in their browser-carrying products. Maybe Hauwei of Samgsung; they now sling a browser derived of another for-profit --usually competitor-- company's browser.by flossly
