I think this is a new name/site for the existing Mozilla group that went by the name "Emerging Technologies".

It isn't working so well yet...

Application error

An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. If you are the application owner, check your logs for details. You can do this from the Heroku CLI with the command heroku logs --tail

Heh, in their defense being a lab means almost by definition that things don't work right :-)

The button interactions on labs.mozilla.com are dope!

Great work

I would prefer Mozilla finishing the Rust + GPU rewrite that is so promising, especially on mobile.

But of course it's not my decision.

Just because you start doing some new thing does not mean you can't also work on other things.

Rewriting the browser in rust is a gargantuan task. It's still ongoing.

Adding more programmers does not instantly speed things up linearly. If every person currently doing labs-work switched to trying to help with the rust effort, I don't know if it would even make a significant difference.. And a bunch of them would probably quit because that's not an area they specialize in or wish to work in.
