Servo 0.0.1 is here, the first standalone release of the Rust-based browser engine. It matches the Oct 19 nightly with extra testing and now ships builds for Linux, Android, macOS (Apple Silicon), and Windows. A small but real step forward.

So, this might seem small, but it's a really cool step forward for #Verso browser (using the next gen, #Rust based, #multithreaded, memory safe @servo engine rather than #Chrome's monopoly #Blink or #Mozilla's #Gecko engines).

They got tabs!

Doesn't *every* browser have tabs? Sure, but others are basically just GUI's slapped on a couple of pre-existing engines. Verso is rebuilding the browser from the ground up using #Servo and #FOSS, even for the #UI.

Early shots fired, #Blink/#Webkit!

Java Concurrency: The Happens-Before Guarantee

When you spent waaaaay too much time debugging and doubting your #multithreaded code because the output is garbled and you suspect a race condition or cross thread writes but it turns out the input data was broken to begin with, you just needed the multithreaded code to be able to parse it at all in a finite time-frame... 🤦

@Elucidating Again:
Check my #GitHub contributions and see for yourself...

The #rugpull by #Redis is just inexcuseable and not only did #Snapchat basically make a better #multithreaded #fork under #BSD 3-Clause named #KeyDB for quite some time , but several big constributors seem pissed...

So far, I saw quite significant contributions from #Tencent *, #AlibabaCloud * #aws and #RedHat and I'm convinced their #CLO's are pissed since their staff worked on those projects because with the leave of original creator of Redis it was stated that it will remain 3-Clause BSD...

And I do expect Redis to get their asses handed in court so hard they'll have to file for #bankrupcy like #SCO before the dust has settled...

I mean, look at that dumpsterfire and tell me with a straight face this is how #FLOSS should be done!
