EXAMPLE
Your first rust program
fn main() { let nums = [1, 2]; let noms = ["Tim", "Eston", "Aaron", "Ben"]; let mut odds = nums.iter().map(|&x| x * 2 - 1); for num in odds { do spawn { println("{:s} says hello from a lightweight thread!", noms[num]); } } }

SERVO
A next generation browser engine experiment
Written in Rust
Uses multicore capabilities
Better architecture
Task communication
Sync & PICL
Firefox SYNC
Synchronizes your Firefox data between PCs and devices
End to end encryption
You hold all the keys
A bit difficult to use
PICL
Stands for Profile In the CLoud
- The next version of Firefox Sync
- Email+Password authentication
- Some things may be decrypted if your password is stolen
- A lot more usable by the average user
EmScripten & asm.js
Emscripten is a compiler, that translates C/C++ code to Javascript
ASM.js is a subset of Javascript that runs much faster in the browser (close to native speed)
What Can it do?
https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/wiki
Check out the demos section
full of games that now run exclusively in Javascript
WebRTC
Stands for Web RealTime Communication
Provides a simple Javascript API for transmitting
video, audio and data
Supported in Firefox, Chrome and Opera
What can it Do?
Video chat with friends
http://apprtc.appspot.com
Share files P2P

Play games

WebAPI & FIREFOX OS
The web needs to access your hardware
Thing you couldn't do one year ago
Some APIs are only available on some platforms
THE BEST thing
You can be part of it!
Our mission is to promote openness,
innovation & opportunity on the Web.
