Introduction
Servo
Servo is a prototype web browser engine, developed on 64-bit macOS, 64-bit Linux, 64-bit Windows, and Android. The goal is to create a new layout engine using a modern programming language (Rust), and using parallelism and code safety, to achieve greater security and performance versus contemporary browsers.

WebBluetooth
The WebBluetooth specification allows websites to interact with active bluetooth devices in the vicinity of a user. Servo is a new, experimental browser that implements this specification; since bluetooth support requires lots of per-platform code, the current implementation is messy. The goal of this project is to implement clean separation of a cross-platform interface from the specific per-platform implementation to make the code more maintainable.
