Introduction to Servo
Mozilla Research team is currently working on an experimental project to develop a new Web browser engine "Servo", that is capable of supporting a variety of current and next generation of hardware like mobile devices, multi-core processors and high-performance GPUs. Servo builds on top of Rust to provide a secure and reliable foundation. It is currently developed on 64 bit devices.<ref> </ref>

Introduction to Rust
Rust is a modern systems programming language focusing on safety and speed to build reliable and efficient systems <ref> </ref>. It accomplishes the goals of memory safe without using garbage collection and it supports concurrency and parallelism in building platforms.
Rust’s lightweight task mechanism also promises to allow fine-grained isolation between browser components, such as tabs and extensions, without the need for expensive runtime protection schemes, like operating system process isolation.
