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?

I do wonder: why not rust? It would have been amazing. A fast language on par with C++ that also is memory safe. But Swift? You gotta be kidding me…

I not entirely sure but from what I can remember Andreas Kling is seen using Mac-os in a Ladybird update video so it could be possible that it is his main operating system. Take this with a grain of salt.

Oh, programming language. My brain was stuck trying to figure out if Swift is related to Swiss.

Rust would have been good in the long term but it’d take a long time to get to release.

Swift mates sense for rapid deployment.

Go would have been my choice concurrency would maybe help with lots of tabs

Tabs are typically spun into separate processes for sandboxing reasons anyway
