Hello Andreas, I noticed your browser project through the d-devel list, and I was enticed to look at this ITP. It is not often one sees attempts at new web browsers!
You write: > The source code is now *245,000 lines of C code*, which is much more > maintainable and easier to review and audit, than the source code of > Firefox and Chrome where the source code runs into many millions of > lines of source code. The git repository of your project tells, at least to me, a very different story. As far as I can tell, the first commit is commit eb9e73f79fb72d6099cb20cb24928126bfb2d82c Author: Andreas Røsdal <[email protected]> Date: Mon Jun 15 08:13:14 2026 +0200 and the latest is commit c6a2caabcf9dcda2f3d33f13f34f873044ab26de Author: Claude <[email protected]> Date: Mon Oct 19 05:57:36 2026 +0000 That's about 4 months. I also see 4 people contributing. In that time, the four of you have $ git log --pretty=format:'' --numstat | awk '{insertions+=$1; deletions+=$2} END {print insertions " insertions, " deletions " deletions"}' 2623722 insertions, 1527351 deletions I must say I struggle to reconcile your goal of "more maintanable, ease of review and audit" with ~160k lines of code being added and ~100k being removed per person per month. (In reality it's even worse – a cursory glance indicates that you alone are the committer for the vast majority of the code, and that activity was actually spread over just 3 months, but I digress.) Could you elaborate on this herculean effort? Review alone, not to mention testing and maintenance, seems beyond hard even if this were the full time occupation of all four of you. Best, Gard
