Gecko isnt?
One of the differences is that Gecko written in C++ while Servo is written in Rust
It's also more optimized and modern
That may explain the language it was written in (if that even matters? Not a developer) but why is Gecko supposdely not open source?
Gecko is open source. They were saying it would be good to have a new FOSS browser engine that isn't Chromium or Gecko to add some competition to the mix
