Reviewing all this code is the issue.

Which is not an optimization. This is coming from a Rust dev; Rewriting it in Rust is not the optimization.

Also, I do not believe they actually reviewed the SolidJS->React PR. This PR is incredibly unrealistic and should've been done with either stacker PRs or incremental non-breaking changes.

None of this feels organic, can we stop pretending it is?

To continue the pessimistic tone, none of the writing went in-depth. I did not gain any knowledge, just a marketing post.

All of these things have readily available analogues on the web which means they are more than likely just laundering open source code & claiming victory.

It doesn't compile so no victory

Just the usual corporate marketing & hype.

There are many open-source toy browser implementations available, so this seems quite likely.

There's a clear conflict between SKILLS, tools and multi-tasking.

I think "intra-context" tooling is already dead. It's too narrow.

It's all "extra-context" now: how one instruments for multiple agents, at multiple times, handling things.

Personally, I think the best tool in this realm will come from open source, and be agnostic (many agents from many places interacting), in order to leverage differences between subtle provider qualities (speed, price and so on).

Building a browser is an interesting and expensive experiment. How much did it cost?

So, who is going to compile the browser and post the binaries so we can check it out? (in a sandbox/VM obviously)
