@QuadRadical @karlcow @servo ladybird isn't new, it started within serenityOS more or less at the same time as servo. It was probably too small at the time to be noticed or too much alpha state to be a usable part of the project. So now we get more diversity and if someone builds a front for servo we'll get one more browser :)

@etherdiver @karlcow This!
Also, if it's "lightweight" I'm all in!
(Where's the gif "shut up and take my money!" when I need it?!)

@gormster "Ladybird started as a component of the SerenityOS hobby project, which only allows C++. […] we have almost half a million lines of modern C++ to maintain. However, now that Ladybird has forked […] all constraints previously imposed by SerenityOS are no longer in effect. We are actively evaluating a number of alternatives […] prototypes exist in multiple languages."

@gormster @karlcow it uses pledge and unveil on systems that support such calls.

@gormster Sorry, Padmé.

C++ 84.9%
Objective-C++ 0.7%

@foxmask oui. J'espère qu'ils vont pouvoir décoller ce serait chouette d'avoir de nouveaux joueurs.

@maxbob why? This is not a new standard. This is a new engine for implementing web standards. This is essential to the health of the Web. If anything, the diversity of browser engines helps the interoperability. It seems counter-intuitive. Right now, there are Blink, Gecko and WebKit only. Presto is dead. Trident is dead. EdgeHTML is dead. Without multiple engines, there is no need for interoperability and the winner takes it all. And it's where things start to go wrong.

This is the news for 2024-07-01, the core announcement inside the announcement post:

In order to help us achieve this goal, we've created the Ladybird Browser Initiative, a US 501(c)(3) non-profit (tax-exempt status pending) to drive work on the browser and make it easier for supporters of all shapes & sizes to sponsor development.

@anneoneam you will have to ask them. I’m not part of their organization

@kagan yes I hope that now the project has been separated from serenityOS they will change this. But I would not hold my breath on it. That’s unfortunate.
