It would be nice if people read the post and the project before randomly making assumptions such as implying the project started from scratch yesterday or its run by some amateurs, this is a 4 year old project! It's founded by a former KHTML/Webkit developer for Apple!

Servo already exists and is independent and written in a modern language and way ahead of this.

I mean, competition is good but they aren't the only independent browser engine.

Remind me in 2 years when this project becomes discontinued...

The project management may have some obvious problems (jOin dIsc0Rd sErVEr; w0rD "thEy" t0o p0liTicAl). But we really need an alternative to browsers funded by Google (Chrome and Firefox).

So I'll do my best to actually build from sources and see what can I help with. Attacking the author is helping nobody.

And for the folks who are saying "wHy n0t rUst", you can always show me the (rust) code.

I really wish they would publish flatpaks because I can't be arsed to either build the thing or get a non-standard precompiled binary to run on nixos.
