Servo vs Ladybird
thelibre.news

I believe that Ladybird has more funding and better support for the web, but Servo wins in performance. Though, they’re hard to compare directly!

    I don’t think Ladybird can compete with the other browsers with that speed.

    Oh and I still wonder why they chose Swift over all the other compiled languages to this day. Was OOP really that crucial?

    I’m waiting for Servo tbh.

    Considering the road Firefox is going down, I am very happy for any alternative, so I’m looking forward to both of these. But I’ve also been playing around with the Gemini protocol, which looks really neat, although it’s very simple.

    If you’re leaving firefox for ideological reasons you may want to also avoid Ladybird. The dev had a public freakout over the idea that women exist.

      the dev is a recovered addict and ex-convict who took up os development to be able to focus on something other than the world around him, in a country where the pronouns debate barely exists. him initially not accepting a documentation change from an unknown contributor that only changes pronouns does not qualify as a public freakout.

      Edit: not to mention, this has been fixed. read the history of the documents touched by the offending PR and you will see that they were changed years ago.

        All code is political, especially foss code. If he had accepted the change, even after initially being skeptical, no one would care. But he picked a side in the dumb culture war and stuck with it.

          but… he did. the documentation has all been changed to use second-person pronouns for user actions. that was years ago. the most rudimentary checks of the git history shows this. yet people are still going at him for it.

            That’s good to hear, if true. I’m not an expert at git, I’ve just seen the two issues that were both closed as won’tfix. I think they’d help their PR (edit: public relations) a lot if they just updated those issues.

              or if people would take the two seconds to click the “history” button on the file in the pull request. at this point, this brigading and targeted harassment of an individual with a history of depression and drug abuse has been going on for close to four years. it’s no longer a “PR” matter.

                It sounds like if they really did commit to changing their ways, they haven’t communicated it, which is PR (Public Relations).

      I followed the links to see what he actually wrote. There’s nothing transphobic or misogynistic about it.

      If you are referring to some other incident, then please link it so we can see for ourselves.

            nah. it may not be a huge deal (esp. if you’re male) and “screaming” might be exaggerating it, but “keep personal politics out of code” is classic “I consider your existence political”.

            I’m happy to see if the guy’s politics has changed in the years since this happened, and I don’t know if their involvement in the project is worthy of a boycott, but those are personal choices (and the relevant comment was even helpfully linked).

          Really?

          A better fix would be to remove the pronoun entirely.

          To prevent this, remove anon from the wheel group and the user will no longer be able to run /bin/su.

          But honestly, it doesn’t matter at all.

      Annoying that you’re being downvoted, you are absolutely correct. We should not support Ladybird as long as Andreas is involved.

    Ladybird seems to be C++, I don’t really see a new project written in a language that is that horrible to use attracting a lot of contributors in the long term.
