So we will, in ~5 years time have two new browser, one in Rust and one in Swift. I hope in the process of doing it we will find new ways of doing things.

I'd like to see Swift adopted more on non-Apple operating systems, some of the recent GTK apps written in Swift are pretty cool.

What swift browser are you referring to?

Most likely Arc ( https://arc.net/ )

Arc is based on Chromium for anyone wondering. I believe part of the UI is written in Swift but the engine isn't.

New Reddit or Old Reddit?

New Reddit. Old reddit seems to work OK.

The newest Reddit - not the React version, but the Lit version that's replacing it - uses very, very modern HTML and JavaScript. I'd love to see Servo get to the point of rendering it correctly!

How many times are they going to rewrite the site? And how can you see the Lit versus React version, is there another link for it?

Pretty amazing how a company can overengineer a basic feed that displays images and text (and ads). New Reddit is a dumpster fire, can't imagine another rewrite is going to fix it.
