Servo (software)

Servo is an experimental browser engine designed to take advantage of the memory safety properties and concurrency features of the Rust programming language.

It seeks to create a highly parallel environment, in which rendering, layout, HTML parsing, image decoding, and other engine components are handled by fine-grained, isolated tasks.

[15] A Samsung developer also attempted to re-implement the Chromium Embedded Framework API in Servo,[16] but it never reached fruition and the code was eventually removed.

[21] In August 2020, Mozilla laid off many employees, including the Servo team, to "adapt its finances to a post-COVID-19 world and re-focus the organization on new commercial services".

[1] In October 2021, Eclipse Foundation launched Oniro OS vendor neutral open-source distributed operating system in Europe for Internet of things and embedded devices with various partners such as Huawei and Linaro among others, based on OpenAtom Foundation's OpenHarmony for software development with Servo web engine as part of the open source project built on Rust language.
