We’ve been searching for a memory-safe programming language to replace C++ in Ladybird for a while now. We previously explored Swift, but the C++ interop never quite got there, and platform support outside the Apple ecosystem was limited. Rust is a different story. The ecosystem is far more mature for systems programming, and many of our contributors already know the language. Going forward, we are rewriting parts of Ladybird in Rust.
Porting LibJS
I used Claude Code and Codex for the translation. This was human-directed, not autonomous code generation. I decided what to port, in what order, and what the Rust code should look like. It was hundreds of small prompts, steering the agents where things needed to go. After the initial translation, I ran multiple passes of adversarial review, asking different models to analyze the code for mistakes and bad patterns.


Right, all rapists should be removed from society, regardless of gender
The thing You don’t seem to understand is that rapists committed rape and need to be punished. Pedophilia is a disorder that if it’s manifesting in a person may never have any impact on another person. Why? Because there are different ways it can affect somebody with the disorder. For some it might be a emotional thing, completely isolated from the world. For some it might just be a though of realizing that they are attracted to a person that is too young.
ACTING on these impulses is the problem. And that becomes way more likely when people don’t realize their pedophilic tendencies because they surpress any reflected thoughts since it’s a taboo to even consider that this disorder exists. And seeking help is even harder for the same reasons. So yes, Public shaming of EVERYONE that has this disorder is definitely not a smart move. Shaming and punishing people that act on it: yes please.
Yeah? For example, I don’t pity people with extremely violent urges, I want them far away from peaceful civilized society. Pedos just the same, no pity, just the desire for them to be very far away from everyone else.
That wasn’t the point here. You should work on your reading comprehension. Unless you genuinely believe that all men are potential rapists that should preventively be removed from society? In which case I would just give up explaining this to someone who has the mental capacity of a toddler.
I genuinely believe that all rapists should be removed from society, regardless of gender. It wasn’t very complicated of a point, surely you’re smart enough to pick up on that, without resorting to ad hominem.
Jesus fucking Christ, are you just ragebaiting or are you genuinely this bad at comprehending stuff? I am talking about the equivalent of your original point, that being the PREEMPTIVE removal of ALL MEN from society due to the fact that they are the main perpetrators of rape, despite the overwhelming majority of them not being rapists at all.
Is this clear now, or should I send your Mum over to explain it to you?
I never made that point, so I didn’t address it. After you said “I’d rather remove you from society” it was pretty clear to me you were letting emotions get the best of you. Again, no need for ad hominem depictions.
Their point is that attraction doesn’t entail crime or even willingness to commit crimes. Punishing someone for a thought crime is unenforceable and absurd.
I wouldn’t consider resident rehabilitation punishment, more of an opportunity really, but it still serves the purpose of keeping those people away from the rest of society and reintegrating them once they’re fit to be around vulnerable individuals
You said:
(Emphasis mine)
You backpedaled after being called out, and it’s particularly annoying because removing permanently can also mean extermination. But giving you grace and only interpreting it as rehabilitation (assuming the individual is deemed to no longer be a danger to others), it’s still impossible to enforce until there’s a crime.
Someone who undergoes resident rehabilitation as a pedophile and is successfully treated results in someone who is no longer a pedophile. That permanently removes the pedophile from society.
Yes, you did make that point, by claiming that “we should remove all pedophiles from society”. I gave you an equivalent example to show you how stupid that is. And you didn’t just “not address it”, you completely spun it around to fit your narrative. That whole point was your emotional knee-jerk reaction, I was simply throwing it back at you.
It’s pretty simple, thorough and extensive rehabilitation to treat and rid individuals of the severe mental illness, such that they’re fit for reintroduction into society. That’s how rehab works.
It’s not a mental illness. If anything, it’s a mental disorder or just a sexual orientation. And when exactly have we ever been able to get rid of a sexual preference? Is conversion therapy your goal? That shit doesn’t work.
You seem to be making a lot of wrong assumptions here. Because just like men in the rapists example, pedophiles overwhelmingly are fit for society and don’t need treatment or rehabilitation in the first place. And for the ones that do feel like they need help, it would actually be better to not shame and stigmatize them to actually give them the chance of trusting someone to talk about it.
Those are the same thing. “A mental disorder, also referred to as a mental illness, a mental health condition, or a psychiatric disability”
Most mental illnesses can be successfully treated, many live to tell the tale. Drug addicts who become treated are no longer addicts, sufferers of emotional cognitive disorders who become successfully treated are no longer emotionally suffering. Some disorders are treatment resistant, and afflicted individuals undergo life-long consistent maintenance therapy.
A sexual preference towards men, women, or nonbinary isn’t a mental illness. A sexual preference to children is.
