I don't think there are any plans for Ladybird to have a JIT compiler (they used to have one but decided to remove it) [1, 2], so it's not clear to me that this performance gap will be improved anytime soon (if ever).

How does that make this comparison make any sense?

Point is, this isn't a Servo vs Ladybird comparison. It's a Mozilla vs Ladybird comparison.

I read here recently that Ladybird is prepared to switch to Swift rather than C++. I can't seem to find the relevant sources; can anyone confirm?
