| Autogeneration of style structs in Servo's style system | |||
| The idea would be to prototype how to run [https://github.com/rlhunt/cbindgen cbindgen] on Servo's style system [https://github.com/servo/servo/tree/master/components/style/values values module] to auto-generate style struct definitions for C++ and Rust, which would enable the removal of 5k+ [https://github.com/servo/servo/blob/master/components/style/properties/gecko.mako.rs lines] of unsafe and slow Rust <-> C++ conversion code. This can be done on a per-struct basis, so prototyping the general mechanism with a simple one like [https://github.com/servo/servo/blob/master/components/style/properties/longhand/color.mako.rs color] would be the first step, migrating more and more as time goes on. | |||
| Primarily Rust, probably Python for build system integration, and basic C++ since it needs to get generated. | |||

| Would like to check with other people with more experience about whether the duration / scope seems suitable. Also, will try to hunt some extra mentors :) | |||
