Yeah, right. Modern browsers already eat up several GIGS of memory, while super-advenced-zomg tablets boast of 2G. Most have 1G 80% of which is eaten by the system (and widgets, and other persistent stuff).
But not caring about memory is hype. Because its future, technology, and, you know, Moore's law
It doesn't mean that Servo would use more memory. Current browsers are doing things like multi-process to trade off memory for security and getting less safety in return than a memory-safe language would provide.
