I wanted to shed more light on our console UI progress. I wouldn't say that
we're nearly done, but I do think that were at a stage now where we can
start thinking about how to best serve Servo. We are splitting the work
into three phases.

1. console message output
2. object inspection
3. JS terminal


​
Phase 1 is well underway. Once that's done, we expect phase 2 and phase 3
to go pretty quickly. In those phases, we can reuse components and
piggyback on other work that is happening simultaneously for other tools.

For Servo, I believe the most important work is phase 1 and phase 2. Once
that's in place, all messages coming from the backend will be displayed and
objects will be inspectable. The JS terminal would be necessary for users
to input commands, but I think a stopgap solution of a simple text box
(without auto completion) would work until we've completed phase 3.
