Re:Shadow: New browser engine made almost entirely in JavaSc... by edg5000 on Saturday October 28, 2023 @03:52AM (#38048014)
As a developer, JavaScript does not scale due it lacking static checkability and for some, performance. So we slap TypeScript on top, which mostly solves this problem. But starting a massive browser UI project today, I think Qt on WASM + WebGPU makes a lot of technical sense. That would have the added commercial benefit of making ad blocking harder. Although the binary could be cracked by a modified browser. The eternal cat and mouse game continues.
