Isn't the reason simply that they want to code in C++? This is a passion project.

  > Isn't the reason simply that they want to code in C++? I don't know that that is the reason, given the opening lines of the article: 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.

    That does not explain why they plan to continue writing it in C++.
