Yes, this page is old and needs to be updated. We’re looking into it and trying to get it updated. Thanks Azita > On Jun 2, 2015, at 2:36 PM, Kyle Huey wrote: > > Someone should update https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/research/projects/#servo >

Someone should update https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/research/projects/#servo then. - Kyle On Mon, Jun 1, 2015 at 4:07 PM, Azita Rashed wrote: > Hi Nick, > This is very nice. One small note in the beginning of your post, you > called Servo an experimental browser engine. We should take out the

Thanks for the comments so far. I will address them in the final version. BTW, some eager beaver posted my link to Hacker News where it made the front page. I knew this post would be perfect linkbait for HN but this was a little premature. Whoops. Anyway, I edited to the page to remove all the Wo

Re: [dev-servo] Draft blog post about memory measurement

Hi Nick, This is very nice. One small note in the beginning of your post, you called Servo an experimental browser engine. We should take out the word experimental and just call it a new or next generation browser engine. The project isn’t in the experimental phase anymore and we don’t want t

Re: [dev-servo] Draft blog post about memory measurement

Re: [dev-servo] Draft blog post about memory measurement

Very cool! This is probably too esoteric for the blog post, but it seems like the malloc_size_of thing isn't passed in for the Rust version. (For those who don't know, in Firefox, this is used for the Dark Matter Detector (DMD): a method can be passed in to record all blocks that are measured via
