    Linux Foundation Europe has taken over the rust-based Servo engine that Mozilla started several years ago. It’s not ready to replace any other browser yet, but progress has been picking up speed quite a bit the last few months. Could end up being better than a Linux Foundation Firefox fork simply due to the advantage of being a newer codebase with (hopefully) less baggage than Gecko and the added bonus of rust’s memory safety.

      In was thinking about TLF with servo in mind, though I wasn’t aware much progress has been made. Great to hear!
