Mozilla re-invents the browser: Project "SERVO"

[jwoegerbauer]

Reportedly Mozilla Foundatin has started to re-write the source code of their brower using the new programming language RUST, invented and developed by themselves.
It is a plan the non-profit foundation wants to prevent the majority of security vulnerabilities in the future with. Mozilla is not alone with the security gaps, the problem affects all modern Web browsers, including Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer.

That was the reason the company now works on a new browser with the name SERVO.




For the programmers around here:

This is a small functional code written in RUST

fn main() {
    // A simple integer calculator:
    // `+` or `-` means add or subtract by 1
    // `*` or `/` means multiply or divide by 2

    let program = "+ + * - /";
    let mut accumulator = 0;

    for token in program.chars() {
        match token {
            '+' => accumulator += 1,
            '-' => accumulator -= 1,
            '*' => accumulator *= 2,
            '/' => accumulator /= 2,
            _ => { /* ignore everything else */ }
        }
    }

    println!("The program \"{}\" calculates the value {}",
              program, accumulator);
}

which delivers the output


The program "+ + * - /" calculates the value 1
