Falco: A New Rust-Based Browser Engine Emerges
Falco, a new browser engine written in Rust, has been introduced, offering a lightweight and fast alternative to existing engines. The engine is capable of rendering HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SVG, and images, either to a PNG file or a live interactive window. Falco is not a wrapper around existing engines like WebKit or Chromium; instead, it is built from scratch, featuring its own HTML tokenizer, CSS parser, layout engine, and JavaScript VM. The project is still in its early stages, with many features structurally complete but not yet integrated into the render pipeline.
