This was the main takeaway for me:
In its place, we landed a complete Rust reimplementation of the LibJS frontend pipeline: lexer, parser, AST, scope collector, and bytecode code generator (#8104). The translation was done using AI coding agents (Claude Code and Codex), human-directed rather than autonomous. The Rust pipeline produces byte-for-byte identical bytecode output to the C++ implementation, verified across 52,898 test262 tests and 12,461 Ladybird-specific tests with zero regressions.
TIL something new, double and triple click dragging let you highlight by word/paragraph.
I've been using double click for years now probably. I didn't know about triple click. There's also ctrl + shift + arrow keys. Which do the same thing.
