alt Hacker NewsToo bad LadyBird is being translated to LLM generated Rust.
It's nice that Rust is so beginner friendly but it would be nicer to have a pure C++ browser for the more experienced developers, to use as a basis for their projects like Chromium is used.

Why would yet another C++ browser be better than one written in a different language (this time Rust, but Zig would be cool too)?

are you saying c++ can be used as a basis for other projects whereas rust cannot? ...why?

I don't really care for the language. But why is it following the GTK UI language ffs. Every gtk only gets worse.

If LLMs allow them to speedrun to an alternative mainstream browser, then full speed ahead.
A third runner in this space would make the browser market a lot healthier than the current chrome/webkit and Firefox duopoly.
