Message   LWN.net    All   The Ladybird browser project shifts to Rust   February 25, 2026
 6:40 AM *  

The Ladybird browser project has announced a move to
the Rust programming language:

When we originally evaluated Rust back in 2024, we rejected it
	because it's not great at C++ style OOP. The web platform object
	model inherits a lot of 1990s OOP flavor, with garbage collection,
	deep inheritance hierarchies, and so on. Rust's ownership model is
	not a natural fit for that.

But after another year of treading water, it's time to make the
	pragmatic choice. Rust has the ecosystem and the safety guarantees
	we need. Both Firefox and Chromium have already begun introducing
	Rust into their codebases, and we think it's the right choice for
	Ladybird too.

Large language models are being used to translate existing code.
