Isn't Ladybird adopting Swift as their preferred language? I'm slightly confused on why Ladybird over Servo. But I am sure people at Cloudflare have more knowledge than me. So I guess there is a good reason.
Yep, they're moving from C++ to swift.
How does that work?
Working with raw buffers and memory in Swift is a frustrating experience.
I’m a big fan of Swift, but when I drop to systems level I don’t feel it’s a good fit.

FTFY
Thanks, I couldn't figure out how to convert the x.com URL to xcancel. Do you just change the domain?
Yep
Awesome to hear!
The best way to test a language for a project is definitely this bake-off method, so I do trust they did their due diligence.
