This is a really cool look back at how pmarca coded the original browser in c! You feel like another programmer in the room back in 1993.
It looks like something you could actually write, and it would work passably.
This makes me think browsers are a fine example of Gall's Law
Indeed. And JavaScript is the same. Coded in 10 days, in a very crude way, but right now, despite few idiosyncrasies, it's in top 3 for most well-rounded scripting language, and it has the most robust and optimized runtimes.
I see this is from Andreas Kling, the creator of SerenityOS.
