The best thing that happened to Servo in its history was most likely being orphaned from Mozilla.

The world needs "Linux of Web Engines" because while kernel runs the machinery, web is the interface that users interact with. Then both ends are covered and governed.

It shares also the similarity with Linux that it has some technical edge over competition. The rendering engine is superior compared to the existing science. Thus, Servo has an actual bet to be also commercial success :-)

IMHO, for Microsoft it would make whole a lot of sense to back this up. E.g. creating Servo based Electron runtime and put VSCode on top of that would be money well spent.

@jarkko Tried out Servo via Verso a couple days ago and I must say it was a positive surprise. Compiled in a couple hours on my >10yo laptop instead of the 12-24 hours for firefox (Gentoo times lol)

Sure, most major sites didn't function properly but it's heading in a good direction. I'd like to see it become a standards-compliant competitor to Chromium which could be embedded into a major browser or into a Suckless project.
