It's a research project. Maturity has nothing to do with it. There's literally no plans for Servo apart from research.

Except that we have ridiculously few memory-safe systems programming languages. Rust is one, I believe Ada is another. Provably memory-safe code means no more stack/buffer overflows, no more writing to random bits of memory, and in Rust's case it can be for almost free.

Ada isn't memory-safe with dynamic allocation (unless you use GC). Dynamic allocation is essential for a Web browser.
