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.

Thanks, I couldn't figure out how to convert the x.com URL to xcancel. Do you just change the domain?

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.
