    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.

      They can always reimplement it later.

      Focus on core right now, you can change js engines further down the line if need be.
