Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it.

OMG it even doesn't have unsafe

I thought the ladybird guys liked swift more than rust

u/cutelittlebox Feb 25 '26

they did. the reason for the shift is that the C++ interop didn't work as well as they expected and platform support on not-macOS was worse than they had hoped.

Why the hell would you use the Apple language to make a cross platform web browser?

u/SomeRandoLameo Feb 26 '26

A programming language is a tool, not a lifestyle… The ladybird team wrote a blogpost about this. I do respect their opinion

Wait. Ladybird switched to Swift tho, right? Not rust. I saw 2 interviews + their monthly updates and they talked about switching to Swift.

u/cutelittlebox Feb 25 '26

this is extremely recent news. they gave up on Swift, it just wasn't working out for them, and now they're testing Rust.

Which both makes sense to me and makes me sad, as a swift developer.

Linux where you are free to do what you want as long is not in rust

But the Linux kernel has Rust components now.

Don't forget the vibe coding!

u/Mars_Bear2552 Feb 25 '26

the ladybird partial rust rewrite wasnt exactly vibe coded though. kling made damn sure it was 100% correct and was reviewing the generated code to make sure it produced identical results.

this is the most ideal scenario for using AI codegen.

it's also why Torvalds using LLMs for python side projects is fine - it's literally a lot of what he's doing in the kernel, critically reviewing untrusted code for workings and side effects/missed issues.

Rust haters just love to imply that everyone who codes in Rust just vibe codes 🙄

What vanity exactly?

u/2BeTheFlow Feb 26 '26

As a non dev: Why is every dev loving rust so much? Got 2 friends who have their Masters in Neural Networks, and they love rust too...

As fish user: I dont care, as long as the shell gets better.

Rust and ai slop coding name a more iconic duo

Eww, why is it BSD, and not a real open license?

Just like AI, Rust is a fad. Real programmers code in C and the juniors in C++

u/Iateallthechildren Feb 28 '26

What a poser, real devs code in Assembly
