Rust is a modern, fast, memory safe and multithreaded programming language that focuses on speed and safety for developing reliable and efficient systems. It eliminates all data races by having numerous compile-time safety checks that adds no runtime overhead.<ref> http://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/book/README.html</ref>

Introduction

Servo

Servo <ref> https://github.com/servo/servo </ref> is a web browser layout engine written in Rust<ref>https://github.com/rust-lang/rust</ref> and is currently being developed by Mozilla Research. The aim of the project is not to create a full browser but is rather to create a highly parallel environment that allows for many components be handled by fine-grained, isolated tasks.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servo_(layout_engine)</ref>

Servo is built on top of Rust to provide a secure and reliable foundation and is focused on creating a reliable and fast browser engine.
