Ladybird: Closing this as we are no longer pursuing Swift adoption
https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/blob/master/Documenta...
You see this reflected all the way back to the main function. Here is the main entry function for the entire browser:
ErrorOr ladybird_main(Main::Arguments arguments).
https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/blob/master/UI/Q...
If Ladybird is successful, I would not be surprised to see its standard library take off with other projects. Again, it is really the SerenityOS standard library but the SerenityOS founder left the project to focus on Ladybird. So, that is where this stuff evolves now.

Loss32: Let's Build a Win32/Linux
https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity is just that, except it's a whole OS that's Win2k styled. If it ever gets good hardware support it might have a chance.
Or maybe ReactOS - the actual windows clone - gets finished. Rumours put a first release date some time after Hurd.

Writing your own C++ standard library part 2
I was curious, and a bit distractible this morning, so I took a look at their git repo. I did some osdev tinkering in college so I find this all interesting. AK seems to be their standard library that you were mentioning, but there's some interesting things going on in their Libraries dir too.

Learning to Program with Haiku

Trad Unix, redone in C++; not self-hosting; project lead has quit to work on a browser.

Interesting but mainly for extreme smallness. Forth will alienate a lot of people. For me, Oberon would have been a more interesting basis.

Hostile fork of Menuet OS; based on 25YO code.
I mean, yes, it is good there's interesting stuff, but these are not inspiring examples IMHO.
