We’ve been searching for a memory-safe programming language to replace C++ in Ladybird for a while now. We previously explored Swift, but the C++ interop never quite got there, and platform support outside the Apple ecosystem was limited. Rust is a different story. The ecosystem is far more mature for systems programming, and many of our contributors already know the language. Going forward, we are rewriting parts of Ladybird in Rust.
Good grief, the irrational ai kneejerk hate in this community is insane. This seems like a perfect use case - a code base with good test coverage and well defined output expectations, where a human has guided the translation and checked the results. The human in question has saved a lot of time. And still all the comments are “hurr durr slop amirite”. SMH fucking head.
Nah.
no u
yeah, this part of the community is as insufferable as the overly enthusiastic vibe coders
And the people complaining about “insufferable” critics of AI, and assuming all criticism is “knee-jerk”, are themselves contributing to the cycle of negativity.
no shit, pick any post that mentions AI here and see who are the first ones to comment every single time.
If you don’t want a “cycle of negativity”, maybe let’s not throw rocks at anything for just bringing up the topic?
how’s acknowledging this herd behavior contributing to it. Some of us are also tired of reading the same crap in the comments.
