Very happy to see this. Ladybird's engineering generally seems excellent, but the decision to use Swift always seemed pretty "out there". Rust makes a whole lot more sense.

Servo makes a whole lot more sense: https://servo.org/

Can you send a Gmail in Servo? No?

Ladybird is much further ahead in terms of actually rendering web pages that people use.

The biggest advantage to Servo was that it is written in Rust. This move begins to nullify that advantage as well.

Why exactly does Servo make more sense?

I hope they both succeed. But Ladybird is more likely to become a usable browser first.

		This move was only to port a part of their JS runtime pieces to Rust, that's it.
