The Servo Browser Engine Has Been Making Great Progress In 2023

Uhhh, so I'll explain why Servo hasn't been widely adopted

All valid reasons, that basically boil down to "it's not ready yet". In that light, it's great to see other teams pick up where Mozilla left off. Note that many servo components did get integrated into Firefox and other projects, and that Servo helped shape Rust into a great language.

One point I disagree on is the embedded engine usecase: in-app rendering is likely to be the first real-world use of Servo. Because you have more control on your app's html/css/js, so you can avoid Servo bugs and missing features. And being able to not compile in unneeded features (say media playing, or whatever your app doesn't use) could be a killer feature compared to other engines like Chromium.
