What projects are trying something similar to Ladybird? Well, mobody really. But Servo is pretty close though they are not writing their own Javascript engine or anything.

But you should perhaps give your attention to Servo. They were founded as a project to write a modern browser in Rust. So, no hand-waving there.

No hand-waving on the Ladybird team either in my opinion. They have very strong technical leadership. The idea that building a massive application designed to process untrusted user input at scale might need a better language than C++ seems like a pretty solid technical suggestion. Making incedible progress month after month using the language you started with seems pretty good too. And deciding, given the progress buidling and the lack of progress exploring the new language, that perhaps it would be best to formally abandon the idea of a language switch...well, that seems like a pretty solid decision as well.

At least, that is my view.

Oh, and I was a massive Servo fan before the Ladybird project even began. But, given how much further Ladybird has gotten than Servo has, despite being at it for less time and taking on a larger scope...well, I am giving my attention to Ladybird these days.
