I am completely disappointed in Ladybird, even though I had some hope for the project until now. I guess all that's left to do is wait for Servo.
replies:
Your final hope at this point is announcing you will not use LLM to write any part of your program, including tests. Adopting a language which your developers are less familiar is bad enough, and you're writing it with LLM? I'd rather you stick with C++.

The Lunduke vid about this is going to be lit
"We want rust for safety. That's why we made the code in the most unreliable way to code known to humanity".
Not surprising from the devs that think that not being a fascist is political I guess
Edit : ah apparently the guy is not trying to be an enlightened centrist anymore and is a full-on nazi. Heh, who could have guessed? /s

So confused why they openly admitted to using AI to code it for them
We previously explored Swift, but the C++ interop never quite got there, and platform support outside the Apple ecosystem was limited
It's as if everybody told you this the second you announced your move to Swift but aight.
The requirement from the start was byte-for-byte identical output from both pipelines. The result was about 25,000 lines of Rust, and the entire port took about two weeks. The same work would have taken me multiple months to do by hand. We’ve verified that every AST produced by the Rust parser is identical to the C++ one, and all bytecode generated by the Rust compiler is identical to the C++ compiler’s output. Zero regressions across the board:
Seems like a non-issue.
Actually not a terrible way to use AI. Hopefully the port goes well
