I can see that there are still some commits coming in on the Github repo, but the blog hasn't been updated since 2020 and the Twitter hasn't been updated since 2021.
If anyone who's on the team or close to it is around, would be great to get some updates about whether or not the project is completely dead. The movement of Servo's control outside of Mozilla was scary, but I remember at least a few devs saying at the time that there was still interest in continuing the project. Now, I don't even know what's happening with it.
Are there any timelines, goals, specific efforts going on? Ostensibly Servo is owned by Linux Foundation. In practice, has there been any "official" activity under the Linux Foundation over the past year, or has the project been put on hold?
I'm glad that somebody took over Servo when Mozilla dropped it, but it feels like there was never any real update about what the Linux Foundation even wanted to do with Servo. From the perspective of an outsider looking in, they basically took control over the project and immediately stuck it on a shelf. And I know I don't have the full picture -- but it kind of makes me wonder what the point of moving the project over even was. What's the advantage of having Servo under the Linux Foundation? What happened because of that move, and what was developed/planned as a result of the Linux Foundation being involved?
I've used this, was trying to make a Rust wrapper that could host a Chrome, WebKit, Servo and Firefox renderer - but I didn't get far.
Servo seems like such a good idea and it's pretty far along...why did Mozilla kill it? It seems it could have been a contender for embedded render in all kinds of apps - perhaps an alternative to Electron.
