Ah, that's too bad. Does that mean their own programming language, Jakt, is back on the table?

[hypeatei]

Ladybird split from SerenityOS a while ago, Jakt is not "their" language. And no, I don't think a niche programming language is on the table.

Jfc why do they not just use rust? Is it the c++ addiction dominating?

[qingcharles]

Rust isn't OO is their main issue at this point.

For their sake, I hope not. I don't think an outside-donation-financed project with this much ADD can survive in the long term.

It's frustrating to discuss. It is a wonderful case study in how not to make engineering management decisions, and yet, they've occurred over enough time, and the cause is appealing enough, that it's hard to talk about out loud in toto without sounding like a dismissive jerk.

Maybe I misunderstand, but I thought Jakt was part of SerenityOS, not Ladybird.

From what I can tell they're pretty laser focused on making a browser (even in this issue, they're abandoning Swift).
