CANVAS 2D with RUST and MOZILLA SERVO
This wiki deals with our implementation of a CANVAS for the Mozilla Servo Project using the Rust Programming Language.
Introduction
Mozilla are working on a project called Servo which is being implemented in the Rust programming language.
Design
Rust
Rust is a curly-brace, block-structured expression language. Template:Break It visually resembles the C language family, but differs significantly in syntactic and semantic details. Template:Break Its design is oriented toward concerns of “programming in the large”, that is, of creating and maintaining boundaries – both abstract and operational – that preserve large-system integrity, availability and concurrency. Template:Break It supports a mixture of imperative procedural, concurrent actor, object-oriented and pure functional styles. Rust also supports generic programming and metaprogramming, in both static and dynamic styles. Template:Break Example:
fn main() {
println("hello, world");
}
Servo
Servo is an experimental web browser layout engine being developed by Mozilla. Template:Break The prototype seeks to create a highly parallel environment, in which many components (such as rendering, layout, HTML parsing, image decoding, etc.) are handled by fine-grained, isolated tasks. Template:Break The project has a symbiotic relationship with the Rust programming language, in which it is being developed. Template:Break Servo is explicitly not aiming to create a full Web browser (except for demonstration and experimentation purposes). Rather it is focused on creating a solid, embeddable engine.
