Isn't Ladybird adopting Swift as their preferred language? I'm slightly confused on why Ladybird over Servo. But I am sure people at Cloudflare have more knowledge than me. So I guess there is a good reason.
Yep, they're moving from C++ to swift.
How does that work?
Working with raw buffers and memory in Swift is a frustrating experience.
I’m a big fan of Swift, but when I drop to systems level I don’t feel it’s a good fit.

Awesome to hear!
The best way to test a language for a project is definitely this bake-off method, so I do trust they did their due diligence.
Cloudflare doesnt want an open web, wtf.... More ridiculous fake posturing from big tech.
I think they do
If everything is big tech and walled gardens. what is cloudflares role?
Why does CloudFlare not want an open web? I don't know why they care. Can someone please explain? Is it because they sometimes block VPNs?
Idk, but a lot of Lemmy instances also don’t play nice with VPNs. Some of them are using Cloudflare, but idk if all the ones blocking VPNs are the ones using Cloudflare. But bot traffic is a big problem, and Cloudflare poses a solution to that. It’s not the ony solution, but it is a pretty good one.
You can’t really have a free social media network and not have it block VPNs. At least not with large public instances.
Cloudflare alternatives anyone?
I'd say Bunny CDN is pretty good, but here's a more complete list: https://european-alternatives.eu/alternative-to/cloudflare
