Not only that, but Servo is only receiving less 3000 USD/month in donation, less than their goal of 10k/month, and much less than what they deserve if consider Ladybird is receiving millions.
would be neat if ladybird ended up depending on and helping fund servo. that would fit both projects' missions - servo could continue focusing on the rendering engine and ladybird could get to outsource effort on that part of the code.
I think Ladybird and Servo are exceptionally interesting projects and am so happy they exist. Despite being my daily driver, Firefox has its problems, and they regrettably mostly stem from the Mozilla foundation. Supporting a future with an ecosystem of FOSS browsers that aren't owned by an advertising company is very exciting.
Second this. I'd much rather see more funding for a safer and secure browser than yet another browser that will have the same C and C++ memory corruption vulnerabilities again.
> However, now that Ladybird has forked and become its own independent project, all constraints previously imposed by SerenityOS are no longer in effect. We are actively evaluating a number of alternatives and will be adding a mature successor language to the project in the near future. This process is already quite far along, and prototypes exist in multiple languages.
So it looks like there's a plan to refactor away from C++ as it spreads its wings. I'm in favour of people funding any browser engine with a realistic shot at viability.
