JSD.  Firebug's the main consumer, AFAIK.

In the past that has been left alone due to the preference of the JS
engine module owner. Perhaps the new JS engine module owners can say

At the summit a few of us were talking about ways to promote Rust.
One idea was to rewrite a smallish, well-separated component of
Firefox in Rust, to (a) gain the benefits (parallelism, safety) of

systems.  Image decoders were the first component that came up as a
possibility.
