Firefox

In recent years that seems to be eating into every major OS… but six months into the pandemic, Mozilla laid off the entire team, killing its next-gen rendering engine, Servo.

(Much of Mozilla's revenue comes from Google, of course. This couldn't be because Rust was, and is, outshining Google's GoLang? Surely not?)

How does one even make that connection? Why would Google be interested in such a topic? I'm pretty sure GoLang doesn't make them money directly, but rather as it streamlines their in-house work. I don't think they profit off this even a tiny bit.

Also GoLang, while probably not a better language in every aspect, has some very neat properties which set it apart from Rust (and vice versa).
