- Let's write a web browser.
- In order to write a web browser, we'll first need to write a programming language to write the web browser in.
- We started writing a programming language for web browsers, but our programming language turned out to be so good at writing operating systems that now we're rewriting the Linux kernel in it, and that's taking up enough time we had to put the web browser on hold

Hold on is Rust just the grandest exercise in yak shaving ever committed

@mcc Ladybird also has this vibe :

- let's build an os to change my mind.
- our os works but we can't do anything with it.
- let's build a browser.
- that's not as hard as we thought.
- let's replace most of our external dependencies with our code.
(WE ARE ARE)
- most website bugs, let's work it out.
- make it fast now
- our engine is used by many projects and challenge chromium monopoly.
