    The Hurd of browser engines

      They are clearly progressing now as a project and the world definitely needs what they are building - it's literally something you can download and run right now.

      Rust was started in 2006 (20 years ago) and is now one of the most powerful programming languages, while the Servo project was started in 2012. If they reach parity and beyond of current browsers this could clearly become one of the most important browser engines in the future. Effort very well spent in my opinion.
