Let’s build another web browser based on Servo!
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…
Where do they get the money for doing this?
the linux foundation
Servo: The dead software that is trying to invent new reasons to exist after it was excised from Firefox!
Cool but seems very unrelated?
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.
I just can’t imagine how much of a work writing a freaking web engine from scratch is. Massive respect to all the devs working on Servo. Hope it release pretty soon.
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.
Because they wasted 5 people’s time on it instead of pulling in the first pr
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.
