Proof-carrying code and type preserving compilation allow securing even fairly complex compiler optimizations to be done securely. Sprinkle process separation/isolation and lowered rights onto that and I don’t think fast JS has to be a significant security risk. Thanks, Andreas > On Nov 11,

https://github.com/servo/servo/wiki/Workweek-alt-js I'm pleased with the "Table discussion until mid 2015" outcome :-). It might make sense at some point to have a "super secure Servo" build where you plug in a JS interpreter and simple GC written in Rust, but I can't see a viable general-purpose
