    It's cool that Servo is active again, after moving from Mozilla to the Linux Foundation. I contributed some very-low-impact patches way back, as an excuse to get my feet wet with Rust in a more "serious" project.

    For those who don't know, Servo is an experimental Rust-based browser engine, handling everything from layouts to text rendering to networking and everything else. It's a massive undertaking.

    From the blog, apparently their Rust CSS engine "Stylo" is now part of Firefox. Nice! (Probably old news; I don't recall.)

    If anyone's interested in diving in, you can start by browsing the "candidate for mentoring" and "easy" issues on GitHub.

      As far as I can tell, Stylo was merged into Firefox 6 years ago - I honestly expected that to be a much more recent development.
