Lobsters.

We’ve been searching for a memory-safe programming language to replace C++ in Ladybird for a while now. We previously explored Swift, but the C++ interop never quite got there, and platform support outside the Apple ecosystem was limited. Rust is a different story. The ecosystem is far more mature for systems programming, and many of our contributors already know the language. Going forward, we are rewriting parts of Ladybird in Rust.

    Weird. I would not feel comfortable using that domain. I thought i was reading a neo Nazis blog on the issue.

      Can you explain why you feel that way? “Hyperborea” is not a term I’m familiar with vis a vis Nazism.

          Sigh of course it’s a Nordic thing. I should have guessed. White nationalists also love other Heathen/Norse symbolism.

          Good to be careful, so thanks for educating me.
