Oh this is nice to hear. It's always pleasant to read updates about Servo. I didn't know they started accepting donations on Open Collective and GitHub sponsors last year <a href="https://servo.org/blog/2024/03/12/sponsoring-servo/" rel="nofollow">https://servo.org/blog/2024/03/12/sponsoring-servo/</a>. I'm happy to contribute something.
Interesting, they also claim that they are the 2nd biggest contributors to Chromium after Google: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/igalia.com/post/3lasylsguzs2f" rel="nofollow">https://bsky.app/profile/igalia.com/post/3lasylsguzs2f</a>
Any plans to move WebRender to using Vulkan instead of OpenGL? The latter is really not well suited for proper parallelism.<p>I hope Servo will eventually replace Chromium in QtWebEngine and other similar cases.
All this discussion (hate) on the effort to "rewrite in Rust"...<p>At the same time these projects are soooo promissing (to me -- it may be purely subjective).<p>By <i>these</i> projects I mean:<p>Servo and Verso<p>Redox OS<p>System76's COSMIC Desktop's EPOCH<p>RipGrep<p>Deno<p>Zig<p>tree-sitter<p>And lots of web dev libs and frameworks: Actix, Leptos, Dioxus...<p>Currently a web dev stack can run on Redox OS and use significantly less resources than Alpine! (and this stack has not even had the years of tuning Alpine had)
Of all projects for Mozilla, the supposed champions of the web, to abandon, it still blows my mind that they chose Servo to be the one to lay off the entire team for.
