A new program touris developed by Mozilla Research. It's called Servo and is about to become a reality, according to a developer post from the team development in the Forum. The publication confirms that the first release of a beta version should take place in June.
Servo is a browser engine built from the ground up language Rust and aims for better performance, more security and better parallelism.
What does parallelism mean in a browser? The independent components of the browser, such as performance, HTML parsing, layout, and other tasks are handled by individual processes, which helps both performance and stability.
The team hopes to have a working alpha version in June so that the first users be able to initiate testing and provide feedback.
For many, the Servo project is more interesting than Mozilla Firefox because it is a whole new attempt to create a completely different browser.
We don't know if bits from Servo will eventually make it to Firefox, as it's still unclear if the company intends to merge the two projects.
