Wow, this is awesome.

- Mozilla engineering finally gets the green light to beat Chrome through a from-scratch rendering stack

- This skunkworks initative popularizes the world's first viable C++ contender and interesting "mainstreamable" programming language

- Manglement suddenly lays off the teams responsible for both projects (Rust and Servo)

- Some awesome person from the trenches convinces said manglement to release governance of the rendering engine so it can be developed independently ((of said manglement))...

- ???

- Profit...?

This is real engineering and strategic problem solving. It's inspiring to see.

What is very annoying is that a Mozilla-branded web browser already took the "Phoenix" product name. :(
