I actually find Chromium to be a lot more approachable than I assumed it would be. Have only really checked out the layout / graphics part of Blink, but it’s laid out pretty intuitively.

But yeah, Postgres also gets my vote. I guess there’s a bit of a bias there because devs are likely to read the code of the tools they use; either to track downs bug or just to understand how it works.

Yeah. I was amazed to find out it was designed so flexibly to inject C++ backed JS objects (eg write a request function which added requests to a queue after certain lengths based on multi-tenant fairness). Clients couldn’t circumvent because system code wasn’t necessarily in JS user space.
