Great work by everyone involved. SerenityOS is for me by far the most interesting project in tech right now. It's like watching a different branch of reality evolving. The recent browser optimization videos by Andreas himself have been great. A great moment in particular was seeing Andreas' satisfaction when he go smooth hover effects on links[0], a single moment where he is (presumably) struck with how far his project has come.

#15I found out about SerenityOS and Andreas since Andy Kelley retweets him all the time. Is Zig somehow a part of SerenityOS (or its future plans), or is it simply Andy respecting / signal boosting another systems hacker?

No, SerenityOS is strictly C++

#17Maybe in 20 years we'll be hacking on this on our desktops while every other user OS is still an heroing for the "grandma's tablet" market.

Indeed. It's beyond impressive, especially the web browser from scratch and the whole idea of operating systems that are not typical, yet another Linux distro stuff and having an integrated consistent user interface and open source like RedoxOS, Haiku, Fuchsia, etc has.
But let's be a bit realistic, how long can we expect this to be a reliable daily driver on real machines and not stuck on a VM? It has taken more than a decade for one of them to even run reliably on several PCs and everyone is still waiting for another to not be ridden on a VM and actually run directly on real hardware. That is me not even talking about the apps there.
But if I have to choose one that will achieve all of that in the shortest time, then it would be Fuchsia wouldn't it?

#19Hmm. The LibWeb source is here: https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/tree/master/Userland/... I wonder if it could be pulled out as a portable library. Having another competitive browser engine would be a good thing.
It should already run on Linux using Lagom, at least I have seen the tests for LibJS run on Linux.
