Ladybird seems to be the next big topic but where's the discussion around Servo? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Servo and Ladybird are both nowhere near close to daily drivable (at least for the general public), however Servos been making a ton of progress after their restart and seems much more like an actual chrome competitor then Ladybird. So why do I never see it talked about while Ladybird seems to be the next big topic here?

Keep in mind I do think these are both amazing projects and I really hope they can co-exist

Edit: Looks like the main reasoning is Servo's focus on being embedded while Ladybird promises a fully functional browser

In most parts of the fediverse, if you see more talk about Ladybird than Servo it means you're following the wrong people.

I can agree. I'm donating to both, because more options is better. But really I'm pulling for Servo. It's silly nostalgic sentimentality. But I like the idea of it's traceable lineage back to Mosaic.
