Let’s build another web browser based on Servo!

Andreas Kling wrote a lot of Ladybird himself. It’s not finished yet, and it’s turned into a big community project with full time employees now, but with some experience building browsers, the modern spec evidently makes it quite a reasonable task to build a web engine. There are a lot of IDL files and whatnot to parse and process documents and the rendering algorithms are almost all laid out in the spec these days.
I tried Servo last month and I must say that after what I’ve seen Ladybird do, I was kind of disappointed. I don’t think release is very close based on the problems I’ve encountered.
yeah but ladybird devs care more about enforcing male centric pronouns than spending all of like 5 minutes changing him to they after many people requested it.
I don’t really see what that has to do with the feasibility of writing a new browser engine or the development status of either browser engine, but yeah, it was pretty silly of him to get dragged into an argument over that.
I don’t see how insisting on having male pronouns has to do with the feasibility of a browser engine or the development status of it either, but here we are.
Because they wasted 5 people’s time on it instead of pulling in the first pr
Agree
Huh wow this has been going for a decade, uses Rust, and is run by the Linux Foundation now? That’s all very hype - seems like they need another couple years, but there is hope! I’m impressed
It was the project that helped develop rust into what it is today.
Where do they get the money for doing this?
the linux foundation
We need to go back to the early web, we need to have a more useful than fancy web. Have a lot of browser to choose from, pages will load faster, be more lightweight and less trackers. I’m talking of a web with less JS…
Servo: The dead software that is trying to invent new reasons to exist after it was excised from Firefox!
Cool but seems very unrelated?
