The Servo project is joining Linux Foundation Europe
Summary
Created by Mozilla Research in 2012, the Servo project was the first major Rust codebase other than the compiler itself, and has since been a hallmark for experimental web engine design. Major components of Servo have been incorporated into the Firefox web browser, and several of its parsers and other lower-level libraries have become foundational to the Rust ecosystem. In 2023, Servo experienced renewed activity led by Igalia, a Linux Foundation Europe member that now has a team of engineers working on the project. “With almost 24,000 Github stars, not only Servo represents one of the most popular projects in the Rust ecosystem so critical to the design and implementation of memory safe software, but could provide further alternatives in the world of browser engines, at a time where critical EU regulations like the DMA and DSA are set to redefine the very online consumer experience in Europe.” Servo is a web rendering engine, a piece of software that processes web pages together with other resources like images and stylesheets, producing output that users can view and interact with. Servo team members have participated in RustNL, Web Engines Hackfest, and Embedded Open Source Summit.
