I think we have seen enough since the best example of a Rust browser that is Servo, has taken them 14 years to reach v0.0.1.

So the approach of having a new language that requires a full rewrite (even with an LLM) is still a bad approach.

Fil-C likely can do the job without a massive rewrite and achieving safety for C and C++.

Job done.

EDIT: The authors of Ladybird have already dismissed using Rust, and with Servo progressing at a slow pace it clearly shows that Ladybird authors do not want something like that to happen to the project.

Until just a couple years ago, Servo had been a pure research project with no goal of ever releasing a full browser (and it was abandoned by Mozilla in 2020).

Igalia had five engineers working full time who turned that science project into v0.0.1 in less than two years.

So long as you don't mind a 2-4x performance & memory usage cost.

Servo was essentially integrated into Firefox. It was not a browser in itself until it was put into a foundation on its own.

The RUST ecosystem barely just started getting into shape on the GUI toolkits frontend... So perhaps save your criticisms for something that wasn't born out of the vacuum.

Seems like you forgot a few stops in your train of thought, Speed Racer.
