> From testing the current version of Servo, it still has a long long way to go though, until it becomes a usable browser.

In reality, I think you're waiting for a different project. Servo is like Gecko/Webkit, it's the browser engine. As far as I know, they're not aiming to build a browser, just the engine part.

What you're waiting for is someone to start using Servo as an engine and provide the browser chrome :)

I thought it would be a fun weird project to make Servo work with MS' abandoned JavaScript engine:

Of course it is written in C++ and you'd probably want a pure Rust browser. But it is sad seeing that fairly complete open source JIT JavaScript engine sit and rot.

I was specifically talking about Servo as a rendering engine. Just open their own website in Servo, and look for all the rendering problems present :)
