- Louis Rossmann people gave another $200k<p>- hw acceleration is working in Vulkan and Metal<p>- Ladybird supports Web Assembly through the LibWasm library, which is separate from the JavaScript implementation in LibJS. ... As of this month, LibWasm has hit a 100% pass rate on the Wasm spec test suite!<p>- - Contributors Diego Frias and Ali Mohammad Pur have put in excellent work fixing bugs and implementing missing SIMD features in LibWasm to push us from approximately 60% back at the beginning of June to 100% of tests passing late this month.<p>I&#x27;m astonished. These people have a legitimate shot of breaking up Google&#x27;s web oligopoly. In my opinion, Ladybird is currently the most important thing happening in the software ecosystem. Yes, I mean it.

In the interview with Tweakers (linked in the submission, see screenshots near the bottom), they wrote (presumably translated from English, but the original text isn&#x27;t published afaik):<p>&gt; Zo is de browserengine grotendeels in de relatief onveilige programmeertaal C++ geschreven. [...] Het team achter Ladybird is nog bezig met het zoeken naar een geschikte programmeertaal en wil dan in eerste instantie stapsgewijs de kwetsbare onderdelen van de engine vertalen die bijvoorbeeld in aanraking komen met <i>untrusted</i> netwerken.<p>Weird that they publish about tons of new features and improvements, when they also claim to be looking for a suitable programming language to use to translate the engine into. Won&#x27;t this just make it a bigger and bigger hurdle to port the relevant parts to a different language?

If there&#x27;s no default search deal, will there be a option to pick which search engine you use? Or will it just default to something like using <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;search.marginalia.nu&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;search.marginalia.nu&#x2F;</a> out of the box?
