Andreas Kling wrote a lot of Ladybird himself. It's not finished yet, and it's turned into a big community project with full time employees now, but with some experience building browsers, the modern spec evidently makes it quite a reasonable task to build a web engine. There are a lot of IDL files and whatnot to parse and process documents and the rendering algorithms are almost all laid out in the spec these days.

I tried Servo last month and I must say that after what I've seen Ladybird do, I was kind of disappointed. I don't think release is very close based on the problems I've encountered.

    yeah but ladybird devs care more about enforcing male centric pronouns than spending all of like 5 minutes changing him to they after many people requested it.

    I don't really see what that has to do with the feasibility of writing a new browser engine or the development status of either browser engine, but yeah, it was pretty silly of him to get dragged into an argument over that.
