Mozilla says Samsung has already contributed an ARM back-end to Rust and the build infrastructure necessary to cross-compile to Android, along with many other improvements.

Mozilla quoted in itsblogpost, "Servo is an attempt to rebuild the Web browser from the ground up on modern hardware, rethinking old assumptions along the way. This means addressing the causes of security vulnerabilities while designing a platform that can fully utilize the performance of tomorrow's massively parallel hardware to enable new and richer experiences on the Web. To those ends, Servo is written in Rust, a new, safe systems language developed by Mozilla along with a growing community of enthusiasts."

The Rust programing language was upgraded to version 0.6 and is said to be more stable then the previous versions. Mozilla looks to partner with Samsung to make further improvements to the Operating System.
