Servo is quite large and extremely difficult to build from source. We've tried to make it work with Tauri but decided it's not worth it, at least for now.

Do you have more specifics, and/or have you advised them of the difficulties? It seems to use the same "mach" build process as does firefox, and I build FF developer edition regularly (not every day, but damn near): https://github.com/servo/servo#normal-build

While investigating this, I have deep sympathies for whoever has to work with that taskcluster silliness because yikes that is some A++ grade obfuscation as compared to a .gitlab-ci.yml or .circleci or even the .travis.yml they migrated off of

This makes me feel better about abandoning my own plans to do the same.
