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 hope they both persevere, we need more browser engine competition.
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.
The GitHub project seems to be mostly C++ and the Qt comment in the article would support that.
HN crowd told me they’re porting to swift. When I asked “why not Rust”, they said the C++ code was very OOP, so it was easier to port to swift.
Which probably means it uses deep inheritance hierarchies since that is the one thing that does not exist in Rust (and for a good reason).
I’m not a dev but does Swift will restrict it to Apple platforms since it is Apple language?
nope
I still wonder why they chose Swift
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.
Unfortunately, the lead developer of Ladybird, Andreas Kling, has engaged in transphobia and enforced misogynistic language in his previous project’s documentation, SerenityOS. This post documents and links to multiple examples: https://toot.cat/@EveHasWords/114081930465217200
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.

Really?
This screams “women not wanted” to me
I really can’t figure out if you are trolling or not.
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
anonfrom thewheelgroup and the user will no longer be able to run/bin/su.But honestly, it doesn’t matter at all.
Follow the link. He denied a pull request for gender neutral language in documentation, calling it “personal politics.” https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/6814#issuecomment-830793992
In other words, Andreas insists the OS developer be referred to as “he/him” instead of not assuming gender. Not only that, he’s doubling down. It’s textbook misogyny. Fuck him.
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.
They plan to rewrite it in Swift, which may or may not help.
