Projects like GNOME are increasingly using Rust.

It's a puzzle. Nobody is going to put a URL amid your code. There is no harm in using // for comments.

Is one of the advisors, Raph Levien, the author of the old Libart library?

First of all, they didn't say they are referring to the UI.

The main element in a web browser's UI is the web view where web pages get rendered. It may look the same 'rectangle' as it used to look 10 years ago. But the way chrome renders web pages and execute JavaScript have undergone a lot of changes over the years. Also they have added a lot of new standard and nonstandard HTML, CSS and JavaScript features. Then, there is WebGL 2.0, WebAssembly, WebGPU, etc.

What a joke project! Chromium has a over 35 million lines of code. These people applied a few patches on it, and then advertising it as if they have developed a new browser. The same goes for Comet also.

From their GitHub readme:

> but Chrome hasn't evolved much in 10 years

Really?? It is not true. You guys please go and check release notes and commits log for Chrome/Chromium project for the past 10 years.

In my opinion, a web based UI for something like an image editor is a bad idea. It will be slow and resource intensive.

The author doesn't give any arguments to support his claim.

What is happening is very scary. Many people don't seem to care about any evidence or sources. They blindly follow whatever lies that their leaders say. I think this has been the case at anytime in history. However, now, with the internet, it is easy to spread such lies to mass and easy for such leaders to make blind followers.

I don't think so.How can you be so sure it solves the 'unknown unknowns'?

AI generated tests are a bad idea.

How if it hallucinate and gives you wrong code and explanation? It is better to read documentations and tutorials first.
