    I posted about Ladybird choosing Swift to succeed C++ in October 2024, but nothing became of that announcement. Then I saw this commit show up in my RSS feed today and thought it was funny.

      Dearest hungariantoast,

      You do not know me personally, but for a variety of reasons unworthy of elaborating hereupon, I did find myself uncontrollably laughing out loud at your missive. Bellowing, cackling. Choking, a little, but jovially. Not in a manner at all worrisome. Truly, this has made my month.

      Thank you,
      ~kacey

    Well that's a bummer. Swift is one of the nicest of the modern safe languages to write and it would benefit greatly from increased cross-platform adoption.
