A great explanation of how servo came to be and how is it developed now.

It highlights Rust advantages over C++ (massive parallelism, ...) and its independance. Servo is hosted under the Linux Foundation and managed openly by the Technical Steering Committee.

A webview (for android and apps) is currently built!

Recent developments: Incremental layout (computation optimisation), WebDriver support to automate the browser (and testing), SVG support and DevTools from Firefox

Plans: editability and interactivity enhancements, CSS Grid Layout support, Embedding API, initial accessibility support and performance improvements.

Long-term: leading embeddable web rendering engine ecosystem, powering innovative applications and framework, offering unparalleled performance, stability and modern web standards compliance.
