Servo when?

I might experiment with it if they improve their embedding story, and if someone (not me) makes it work with Python and Qt.

Sadly, https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/27579 has been pretty dead for the past years.

(And before someone asks for Ladybird backend support: Same story there)

It seems that they moved it since to a bigger meta issue and it's actively being worked on https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/30593. There's wider interest since it is being used in the experimental Verso browser now. There's also ongoing effort from the Qt side: https://www.kdab.com/embedding-servo-in-qt/

Ah, Verso looks nice and active, that wasn't on my radar. I kind of lost hope after a lot of embedding tracking issues and meta-issues over the years (the ones you linked is the third one I've subscribed to I think).

As for the Qt side, "ongoing effort" is quite a stretch for something that was made as a conference demo and not touched again since April: https://github.com/KDABLabs/cxx-qt-servo-webview/commits/mai...

The whole ecosystem is steadily moving ahead. They'll get there eventually I'm sure.
