Also, didn't it use Servo crates? I don't think you can say 'from scratch' if 60% of the actual work is from an external lib.

If I install an Arch Linux, I don't say I 'installed Linux from scratch'.

It used cssparser and html5ever from the Servo project, and it used the Taffy library for flexbox and CSS grid layout algorithms which isn't officially part of Servo but is used by Servo.

I'd estimate that's a lot less than 60% of the "actual work" though.
