Andreas Kling announces Swift as Ladybird's future language for better safety and ergonomics. Full transition awaits Swift 6.

I would have preferred Rust, a language created by Mozilla instead of one with ties to Apple, but I’m not a dev so I can’t really judge. What are your thoughts?

      Yep. It was developed to improve parallelization and security of Firefox. Many core parts of Firefox have been replaced with Rust implementations.

        I see now. Rust is the color of fox, and foxes eat crabs. It all makes sense now.

        I thought it was weird such an old piece of software had so much Rust in it. I noticed all the Rust-related things while Firefox Librewolf compiles but never looked into it further.
