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.

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

        The author explains why he chose the name on his site. I don’t think this is a neo-nazi / white nationalist thing despite the irony.

        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.
