Sad dillo is c++, I would have compiled it with a small and alternative plain and simple C compiler like cproc/qbe or tinycc.

That said, there is a signal about coding AI able to do a really good job at assisting to port c++ to plain and simple C en masse.

A huge thank-you to the dev(s)! I love retro projects like this. I use Dillo daily, although it is for internal use. One thing I use it for is to view gemini protocol sites. The plug-in architecture means that you can render any protocol; gopher and gemini amongst others.

It's so lightweight!

I did attempt this with whatever was state of the art (SOTA) about 6 months ago for my own C++ and was disappointed. It's just not there yet.

Am I the only one who has to giggle when reading that name? I know people have somewhat related thoughts about the image editor called GIMP.

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing, kind of an unfortunate name. Why? It makes you think of a DILD*. Then you have to remind yourself, they probably mean armadillo.

not to be confused with armadildo, naturally

:(

So that signal is that good. Back to manual c++ to simple and plain C porting then.
