Lobsters.

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.

    Hyperborea.org is that owned by a racist or is the domain ment to be making fun of it?

    Based on the content of that article alone (especially near the bottom), I don't think it's run by a racist at all. Can confirm via their social media presence.

    Weird. I would not feel comfortable using that domain. I thought i was reading a neo Nazis blog on the issue.

    Can you explain why you feel that way? "Hyperborea" is not a term I'm familiar with vis a vis Nazism.

    Its a very common meme with neo Nazis and white nationalists. They are the only ones I see mention hyperborea. This explains the usage if you skip over the explanation of what hyperborea is https://knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/memes/hyperborea

    If any creator can separate work from personal and the product is good I really couldn't care less with what they use their own time for.

    I'm pretty sure you could find people with other unsavoury opinions in the devteams for both chrome and firefox, what then? Lynx?
