- NLnetNLnet has been sponsoring large blocks of Servo development as well. Filter with 'servo' in the list here: https://nlnet.nl/project/
- throwa356262Any 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.
- QwenGlazer9000I'm glad we have an alternative to ladybird, since I haven't been a fan of the direction of the project for a bit.
- flosslyI 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.

- computersuckServo 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.
- evolve2kNon ai post as top post. We did it guys! But seriously, it’s nice to see other news on here. Important we keep covering broader tech things.
- vyaaCongrats on the successful year!
- p-e-wWhat can one actually do with Servo today?It’s apparently still not ready to be used as a browser engine (and may never be), so what exactly is it for?

- fifiluraHot take... There is something about programming projects spending 10x (or 1000x) the effort to parallelize execution when everything is still restricted by von Neumann architecture.
