Servo

[-] onlinepersona@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

Servo is going he Firefox and gecko route: claim to be embeddable but only target one example browser and actually be horrible to embed anywhere else.

I hope they snap out of it because the way things are going, nobody will use servo and it will just stay an engine with an example implementation.

I don't think Mozilla ever claimed Gecko was embeddable, they sold it as a framework you'd use to build apps with (i.e. XULRunner)

Meanwhile Servo is already usable by Gtk, Qt, Slint, and Tauri.

at this early stage of the project i think it's sensible that the founders and main contributors want to keep direct control

hopefully ladybird and servo will help each other and even share ideas/code/crates like dioxus/leptos

it may turn out that ladybird ends up fulfilling what servo promised. may the best code win
