The style parts are in Rust, but layout is C++, I believe. servo does have an experimental layout engine (or two? layout 2020?) in Rust, but I don't think that ever reached a point where Mozilla were seriously considering replacing Gecko's with it.

I think Servo is basically a proving ground for replacing components in Firefox with Rust equivalents.
