> Good luck embedding Servo!

You know, it doesn't really seem that hard to embed Servo in a Rust application [0]. It's a pretty interesting read.

Anyone know how stable Servo is for this kind of thing? It's not uninteresting as a cross-platform GUI solution or as more lightweight alternative to CEF (assuming it is more lightweight, I haven't done the science on it or anything). Given that you have total control over everything it renders, it's not massively important if it's not 100% HTML compliant or whatever.

Interesting space to watch for the future. Hopefully the Mozilla layoffs don't doom Servo.

That's a great repository, thanks.

However, Servo just isn't ready yet. There are just so many rendering issues that it's worth waiting for it to become more mature. (If you don't believe me, open https://psychonautwiki.org with Servo..)
