Seems a bit ambitious for only less than a dozen full-time engineers in two years.

I was thinking the exact opposite. Considering what they already have, 2 years seems very far away for an initial alpha.

  • Firefox and Chromium have 30+ million lines of code (excluding comments and blank lines). You underestimate the complexity of a web browser.

    • Oh for sure, browsers are complex beasts, but Ladybird already supports quite a decent chunk of the web. For an initial alpha (which they explicitly point out to be for developers and early adopters) to still be 2 years away feels a bit far out to me.
