An anonymous reader writes: As promised, Mozilla has released the first Nightly build of Servo, its new browser engine. This is the first tech demo of Servo, which Jack Moffitt, Servo project lead at Mozilla, described to us a few months ago as "a next-generation browser engine focused on performance and robustness." Packages for macOS and Linux are available to download from here: Servo Developer Preview Downloads. Mozilla promises that Windows and Android packages will be available "soon." And because this is Mozilla, you can check out all the code yourself over on GitHub.

Refuse to support Rust by MatthiasF · 2016-07-01 04:57 · Score: -1, Troll

I am getting tired of every god damn generation of computer science students making a new freaking programming language and forcing the world onto it.

I will not be using Servo and will refuse to use Firefox (my browser of choice) if they move over to it.

Build your damn software in a standard, mature language and stop wasting your time on new languages that have no purpose other than a bi-line on some PHD student's resume.
