Ladybird adopts Rust, with help from AI
Really interesting case-study from Andreas Kling on advanced, sophisticated use of coding agents for ambitious coding projects with critical code. After a few years hoping Swift's platform support outside of the Apple ecosystem would mature they switched tracks to Rust their memory-safe language of choice, starting with an AI-assisted port of a critical library:
Our first target was LibJS , Ladybird's JavaScript engine. The lexer, parser, AST, and bytecod
