This Month in Ladybird: November 2024
November is wrapping up, and it's been another productive month for the Ladybird project. We merged 454 PRs from 55 contributors, with improvements across multiple areas. Here's what we've been working on:
Ladybird is fully funded through the generous support of companies and individuals who believe in the open web. This month, we're excited to welcome the following new sponsors:
We've continued actively improving our WPT score in November, totaling 63,699 more passing subtests than last month, bringing our total to 1,629,296.
Temporal is a modern date/time API proposal for ECMAScript. We implemented it a couple of years ago, but the spec has since changed significantly.
Rather than trying to retrofit our old implementation, we opted for a complete rewrite this month. The result is a clean, up-to-date implementation that brings our overall ECMAScript conformance to 97%, the highest of any engine.
We've announced that we're looking at Swift 6 as a possible C++ successor language for the project. This work has largely been exploratory so far, but we're excited about the benefits Swift could bring!
