You probably won't like what I'm saying: WASM and Rust are completely irrelevant for the vast majority of people. It's only HN and a couple other places where folks are obsessed with it. Far more important is having a browser that can decipher that laughable piece of shit we're calling the web, and have unleashed upon the world. It would be cool if we could focus on fixing it.

That makes no sense. People might not know about WASM or Rust, but people like fast browsers. Rust is what powers Servo, which in turn made performance of Firefox somewhat acceptable. Gutting both teams is extremely short-sighted.

I wasn't under the impression that Servo was completed or deployed fully in released Firefox. I believe only the CSS engine is?

And WebRender. And there were plans for more…

Gears and valves are completely irrelevant to the vast majority of car users.
