Ferus is a small web rendering engine that is 100% independent (not based on WebKit, Blink or Gecko), fast, and (hopefully) secure. It aims to stand as an alternative to more popular web engines by providing full compatibility to how they work. Ferus also stands for "Fast Engine (for) Rendering Ur Site", if you'd prefer that. :) It currently stands at 2.07k lines of code, and has process isolation, simple compositing, a WIP layout engine, an incomplete DOM and HTML/CSS parsers ready.

Like all free and open source software, there is no set date for release 1.0 However, once you are able to open up web pages, please, for the love of God himself, do NOT go log into your bank account with Ferus.

Ferus does not have any proper releases yet, just random tomfoolery and testing is currently going on. To try it out, execute the following (tested on Linux only, because Windows sucks for anything besides gaming). Anything beyond Nim 1.6 should do. Nimble is also required.
