Servo Browser Engine
Discussions center on the status of Mozilla's Servo project as a Rust-based browser engine, its role as a research testbed rather than a Gecko replacement for Firefox, and the integration of its components like Stylo and WebRender into Firefox.

Servo is not Firefox. It was always a testbed research platform. Stopping development of Servo does not mean stopping development of Firefox.
Are there any (obviously as yet quite broken) browser projects using Servo?
It's a continuation of Firefox work. Servo would mean starting from scratch.
Are there any plans for Servo to be a "real" browser, or will it always be more of a R&D playground for Firefox?
As Mozilla chose to abandon it, is Firefox still using servo?
servo is written in rust, not firefox. The firefox codebase is quite old, while servo was written from scratch, being the first new web codebase in years.
Why? Servo is just a proof of concept, it won't be the future of Firefox.
It's not. There's a reason Mozilla is pushing Servo.
Did Servo manage to become a full-featured browser rendering engine - I thought the project was abandoned by Mozilla?
What about Firefox based on Servo?
