Not only glad that Servo is moving forward despite getting so little, but that there's hope in it and people want it to succeed.

On the other hand is still sad that it gets so little. The Linux Foundation has a tremendous amount of fundings and give nothing to it or even the kernel development. The Mozilla CEO earns millions and they can't give a single cent to it and abandoned it to its own luck.

I just hope Servo becomes big and kicks them in the ass, Chrome included, because they rightfully deserve it.

Yeah, what's up with that? I know, that Mozilla is hopelessly corrupt, but what about the Linux Foundation?

The Linux Foundation funds tons of very important OSS projects, but they can't fund everything. Kernel development is not really hurting for money.
