Are they not using any Rust in the codebase at all? My impression was that they abandoned Servo but still rewrote parts in Rust.

Some big chunks of servo got moved into firefox, so it wasn't a complete loss. But it would have been better if servo kept going, even if it never became something you would daily drive and instead it just kept generating good ideas to be subsumed into firefox.

Servo is active again thanks to Igalia allocating a handful of full time engineers. They are making good progress especially on layout, so keep an eye on it!
