While I truly admire how much progress they’ve made, and respect that everyone should pursue whatever they feel like doing with their time, it still feels to me like such a waste that it’s not written in a modern memory safe language.

I fear it’s ultimately going to be the most promising, least safe browser to use.

There still isn't a solid plan, which worries me a bit. This is going to end up as a rewrite of a rewrite.

That's not to say it isn't realistic, but it's definitely going to be interesting.

I also think Swift will bring in more contributors

Cool! I thought it was only planned for the future
