The comment that points out that this week-long experiment produced nothing more than a non-functional wrapper for Servo (an existing Rust browser) should be at the top:

It’s not just a wrapper for Servo, the linked poster just checked the dependencies in the Cargo file and proclaimed that without checking anything further.

In reality this project does indeed implement a functioning custom JS Engine, Layout engine, painting etc. It does borrow the CSS selectors package from Servo but that’s about it.

Yeah there's more to a browser than a couple of out-of-tree servo components, otherwise https://github.com/servo/servo wouldn't have 300k+ lines of Rust code, 400k+ if you count comments and blanks (I cloned the repo, nuked the tests directory, then did a count).

Plus that linked comment doesn't even say it's "nothing more than a non-functional wrapper for Servo". It disputes the "from scratch" claim.

Most people aren't interested in a nuanced take though. Someone said something plausible sounding and was voted to top by other people? Good enough for me, have another vote. Then twist and exaggerate a little and post it to another comment section. Get more votes. Rinse and repeat.
