   @jeisom the initial goal is to make lynx that supports JavaScript.

     @clive @jeisom There used to be an app named Links that did this (lynx + javascript) but then the JS support bitrotted. So I'm hoping by building on top of an embeddable browser engine I can make something that will not bitrot.

     https://brow.sh does this also (with Firefox instead of Servo) and in a highly futureproofed way but it is a slightly more awkward, heavyweight solution

     Tim Chambers repeated this.

     aha, very cool -- did not know about these!

     Super interested to see your Servo experiments -- I was poking around the servo repo a month ago wondering what it would be like to spin something out of it
