Here are the latest Web Platform (WPT) tests: https://wpt.fyi/results/?run_id=6292901677236224 https://wpt.fyi/results/?run_id=6292901677236224 There is a Discord if you want to ask questions: https://discord.gg/c8JEZkDvtY https://discord.gg/c8JEZkDvtY Compile it yourself (it takes 15-20 minutes to fully compile) and test it on a website. Compare it to Firefox or Chrome and see what's wrong. Fix it and submit a PR. how to build Ladybird https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/blob/master/Docu https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/blob/master/Docu...

I tried contributing but its too c++-y for me to understand it unfortunately.

  This is the way to start learning. Look at a WPT test and try to focus on it. Look at the web spec Ask questions in the Discord about where it would be, and people are gladly willing to help. :)

    Unfortunately for c++, the industry is moving towards Rust. Even conservative gray-suit Corps are using rust for their new projects. The limiting factor is available rust devs. Writing c++ is a sure way to get hired maintaining a legacy codebase. Ladybird is an outlier and there are probably a few more project like it, but anyone looking to be employed should pick up the new skill that is rust. Contribute to ladybird and learn c++ if the project interests you, but don't learn it for a career.

      There are plenty of embedded projects still being started with c. C++ also has a lot of demand where i am at. The advice about career is very geography and industry dependent. Almost no one hired Node.js developers in my city back when i started.

      They're likely moving to swift not rust.

      You may live in a bubble. Rust is great and all but C++ is still dominant in its space. The web browser you're using right now? C++. The OS you're using? Probably some unholy mixture of C and C++. Console and computer games? Written in C++ as a rule.

        The commenter talked about new projects, why are you talking about the web browser and the OS?

        New games are not made in Rust. Rust has been trying hard and it's going nowhere.

        Working on a major new project right now in C++. In our case, it’s a high performance 2D GPU accelerated drawing application - C++ and many of its battle hardened/established libs are the only game in town. Rust is a non-starter for a large range of apps
