GG; really was excited for the ladybird browser, but now it relies heavily on AI to rewrite its code from C++ to Rust. They even rewrote their entire JS stack just using AI into rust, using "only" hundrets of prompts to get Claude to do the porting for them.

Can this AI slop bubble please burst already?

Ladybird adopts Rust, with help from AI - Ladybird

We're adopting Rust as our C++ successor language, and using AI agents to accelerate the transition.

@mai_lapyst I keep my pitchfork down for now. Looks like one of those rare cases where they didn't just willy-nilly wrote prompts and took the results for granted.
