CS 4560 guest lecture: Ladybird browser development

I was invited by professor Pavel Panchekha at the University of Utah to speak to his CS 4560 (Web Browser Internals) students about Ladybird, and give a demonstration of real-life browser development. We finished up with a Q&A.

That little coding session was like a drop of water. We NEED coding videos again!!! ❤

[Bobbias]

Man, these students are lucky. It's not often you get a talk like this in school.

[neozeed]

The answer to why we need Ladybird @28:45 is so important to the entire industry.

Hey Andreas, currently watching your talk. Really nice so far. I included ladybird in my lecture‘s browser overview which I start giving today. Hope that I can also include it in the top 3 to use browsers in the future. Really looking forward to replace Firefox with Ladybird 😊👍👍

Man you are a living legend, I remember your videos a couple of years ago and you continue to deliver, it's a really outstanding progress, build an OS and a web browser simultaneously, one must be VERY smart to do that. Wish you all the success and wellness.

[reidond]

I miss your coding sessions but i understand that now you have a lot of responsibilities since the project growth

[Quaker]

I just realised that 2:11 is the first time I have actually seen a photo of you head to toe in the 6 years I've known you LOL

Great presentation btw :)

[ginogarcia]

nuts that this stuff is just for free online

[glenfordwilliams]

Really enjoyed this lecture Andreas. Hoping you get similar invitations in the future

Five BILLION dollars is hard to turn down. Stay strong.

[ukyoize]

Companies being afraid of GPL is a virtue.

[maxbrown]

So inspiring Andreas, keep up the work! I can't even code C++ but maybe one day I can contribute :^)

Did you try using the mold linker to speed up link times?

1:00:35 — Lol, if I remember right, the story goes that back in the day, nobody JIT'd javascript code, but Google saw that Google Maps (and/or Google Earth?) were sluggish, so they went and forked Webkit to create Chrome.

I think the "don't roll your own crypto" is more around creating a custom crypto algorithm than implementing an existing crypto standard. That's because it is difficult to make a new algorithm secure and requires specialist knowledge. Auditing the crypto software is similar to auditing the other software.

Andreas, having been an avid channel viewer over the last few years, I was wondering about you "exporting" Ladybird from SerenityOS, but when one considers Node, you cannot help wondering why you cannot "export" JavaScript in a similar way. That will be one amazing idea as well. Node needs competition.

saw one kid shake there head when you asked if they where familiar with cpp. Must be a java school.

Will Ladybird appear at Web Engines Hackfest this year?

1:11:30 that hurts my feelings, more than half of the test suite is simd

[CYXXYC]

tbh i dont know any sane web dev who would depend on eval (in the current day), everyone should just deprecate it and consequently remove it from the spec
