It absolutely is not awful. You are doing something wrong then. It's not as good as on macOS of course but it's still great. I get 8-10 hours.

It's not. What makes you say this?

I used my homemade shell language last year, called elk shell. It worked surprisingly well, better than other languages I've tried, because unlike other shell languages it is just a regular general purpose scripting language with a standard library that can also run programs with the same syntax as function calls.

Native AOT compiled code is not necessarily faster than JIT compiled code. The Java JIT engine can do a lot of optimisations that would not be possible with AOT compilation. In the end it's compiled down to machine code anyway.

You don't have to implement some big new feature. I found a layout rendering problem when I tested it on my own website and could quite easily go and fix it without having any prior experience with browser development.

Well that's why they're going to rewrite parts of the code where those things are more likely in Swift

What? No one is expecting Ladybird to be fast at this stage. No one is claiming that it is. Ladybird is competitive because of the speed of which it is improving.

Well Andreas Kling has worked on Safari and WebKit and (obviously) has talked to a lot of browser people. He knows what he is doing, and he frequently says that no one that has actually worked on a browser thinks it's impossible to create a new one, even with a small team (...of highly motivated and skilled people).

What? Accused of only being done in academic environments? Never heard that. Academics seem to spend 99% of their time talking about parser generators and LR parsing for some reason while most production compilers have handwritten recursive descent parsers...

This is such a strange mindset. First of all, unsafe Rust is not comparable to C. It still has a lot of checks and balanced that C does not have. The author is also planning to make it more safe. And what do you mean "the primary reason"? The primary reason for this was to have fun. Let the man have fun.

> but nothing that I will install on any box of mine any time soon

Well, no one asked? I will never understand you chronically negative people that have to come in and whine about things that don't matter every time someone posts their fun little personal project that they made for fun. Have you tried being a little more positive? It makes life more enjoyable.

The only difference is that you have to specify the type of the list when you declare it though... That's not really a big deal.

List<string> names = ["Peter", "Julia", "Xi"]; names.Select(name => $"Hello, {name}").ForEach(greeting => Console.WriteLine($"{greeting}! Enjoy your C#"))

or

new List<string> { "Peter", "Julia", "Xi" }.Select(name => $"Hello, {name}").ForEach(greeting => Console.WriteLine($"{greeting}! Enjoy your C#"))

$100/g? You can buy it for less than 1/10 of that in Europe at least

Ladybird doesn't support Windows yet because most developers use Linux or macOS. Ladybird has been progressing faster when it comes to CSS rendering and JavaScript support.

So why does it work so well in Nordic countries then? Unionisation is the norm here

Ladybird is all about the engine. It's progressing faster than servo

Do you know who Andreas is? He knows more than you.

Well maybe they're ok with that? They want browser diversity. Getting Microsoft to use a new engine is better for diversity than if they just used chromium like now.

It makes it much easier to build new engines in the future. Even if only a few people are interested in this knowledge, they can make a big impact with the software they write.

Stop reading headlines

Norway is absolutely not the least diverse country in the world. You just made that up. /r/ShitAmericansSay

Why is it bizarre? It encouraged people to contribute to the project. It clearly worked out well for them. SerenityOS isn't for regular users, it's for developers.

That's incredibly wasteful. You can't be serious?

What? You don't have to work on Windows with .net either and there is an IntelliJ IDE for C#.

Andreas worked on performance for Safari and has also talked to several other people who have worked with the JavaScript engines of major browsers and they have all come to the same conclusion.

> Fresh

No, frozen and dried stuff are fine. I don't get the obsession with freshness when talking about healthy food.

I honestly don't understand what people are talking about. Looks fine to me.

One of the problems with asahi is that it isn't pressure sensitive enough, so you have to press harder. That feels like something that they can fix, but they haven't for some reason.

Where do you live? Switzerland?

They used IRC but they switched because IRC is just too inconvenient. Discord is proprietary, but it works really well for them. They chose to be pragmatic.

This isn't about PostNord. This simply let's them pick up the plates themselves until the case has been settled. Also, PostNord hasn't decided to not deliver to T. The workers have.
