   Servo uses mozjs which is just rust bindings for SpiderMonkey which is still C++.

   All this effort to use rust and yet they would not rewrite the JS engine which is the biggest attack surface for memory vulns.

      Why would it help? Rust doesn’t do anything to make generated assembly code safer.

         You don't have to have a JIT to have a JS VM ?

            But you would want one to get competitive performance.
