The Servo Parallel Browser Engine Project
Servo is a prototype web browser engine written in the
Rust language. It is currently developed on
64-bit macOS, 64-bit Linux, 64-bit Windows, 64-bit OpenHarmony, and Android.
Servo welcomes contribution from everyone. Check out:
- The Servo Book for documentation
- servo.org for news and guides
Coordination of Servo development happens:
- Here in the Github Issues
- On the Servo Zulip
- In video calls advertised in the Servo Project repo.
