Jim, We won’t get into anything that requires prior Rust experience during the Servo session - the focus is intended to be more on architecture, web platform compat, and with a bit of poking around to make small changes (e.g., either fixing or breaking WPT and CSS WG ref tests with tiny code changes).
Ideally, we would have had the Rust one first, but the Thursday slot had fewer conflicts and there were more groups interested in the Rust training than the Servo one. - Lars On Jun 8, 2015, at 5:15 PM, Jim Chen <nc...@mozilla.com> wrote: Does the Servo session (which is earlier than the Rust session) require prior experience with Rust?
