AFAIK the issue is with one time purchase games, where is not clear if you will be able to play forever or whenever they want to pull the plug, if they change to subscription based model or free to play, then it will be clear for the player

I don't know the situation now, but a while ago there were a lot of pushback using Next.js because it was not easy to use all features if not hosted on Vercel.

I don't use Zig (is not a language for me), but I like to read/watch about it, when you or others talk about the language design and the reasons behind the changes. Thanks for your and the Zig team work.

I can think a few reasons: - Cranelift applies less optimizations in exchange for faster compilation times, because it was developed to compile WASM (wasmtime), but turns out that is good enough for Rust debug builds. - Cranelift does not s

For that you also need to reduce the bureaucracy.

You need a fault tolerant parser, tree sitter is a good example on how it works in practice, your compiler should have the ability to run a few steps (parsing, symbol resolution, type checking, etc) with an incomplete/invalid AST. >

From the link it seems that Ladybird architecture is very modular, in this case LibJS is one of the subsystems that has less external dependencies, said that they don't need to migrate everything, only the parts that makes sense.

I guess you will need to wait for their Feb 2026 update.

Javascript is a self contained sub system, if the public API stays the same, then they can rewrite as much as they want, also I suppose this engine now will attract new contributors that will want to contribute to Ladybird just because they

TBH Mojang should have the resources to do that on his own, Minecraft is the best selling game of all times btw.

Most of what the section "Why ROX exists" reminds me of Rust and Zig, where both are more explicit (but Zig even more where there aren't hidden allocations, while Rust hides it). Said that I really miss all the i{8|16|32|64|1

I have my doubts on Jai, besides being built towards game development, from what I read/watched about it, it has 2 or 3 meta programming capabilities, like comptime, macros, etc it feels too much of the same, also Jai is not built towa

But it should not be obnoxious, look at steam how is a small banner with two simple actions, vs all other cookie banners.

The thing with GPUI is that the library itself is very low level and their scope is limited (by design I suppose), the ui with components is a separate crate with GPL license, while GPUI license is Apache. As far GPUI has a great foundation

AFAIK they also were focusing on upstream the changes into the kernel [0], because the amount of downstream patches they were maintaining were making the work harder and harder. [0] https://asahilinux.org/2025/10/p

Agree, it would be awesome to move all your mac windows all over the place instead of being constrained in a virtual display. That would cut the amount of displays you need o have in order to be able to see more without switching between st

I hope that System76 invest into adding accessibility support into Iced, because they are using it to build Cosmic (the official desktop environment for Pop_OS).

This sounds like a good opportunity for a 3rd party e-ink screen for the framework laptops.

AFAIK if the project has a rust-toolchain.toml[0] file, cargo will download the correct compiler for the project. [0] https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/overrides.html#the-toolch...

Well, an underrated aspect of the Rust rewrites, is that it's easy to publish and share official libraries from the projects that the community can use, something that is too hard in C land.

You are not the target then, but people using Gitlab might find insightful.

Would be cool if companies are forced to open the devices that they aren't supporting anymore.

Is Arch ARM officially supported by the same team? If not, what might be the reason?

Ads are annoying, but they are ok, what is not ok is collecting data and then selling it, so they can profile you without your consent across different platforms.

The implementors of the banners did it in the most annoying way, so most users will just accept all instead of rejecting all (because the button to reject all was hidden or not there at all), check steam store for example their banner is no

From the video looks like it's already usable, with Lua or some other scripting language it could be a good alternative to vim or helix.

That's also a reason why Google is researching with Carbon, they have for sure a hunger to migrate away from C++.
