But ladybird is ditching c++ for swift?
AFAIU they are not ditching C++, they are exploring writing some parts of the engine in Swift using the new C++ interop features in Swift. But a wholesale switch to Swift doesn't seem realistic.
I remember Andreas saying something along those lines in some interview, but seeing their repo[0] doesn't looks like
C++ 64.6%
HTML 22.4%
JavaScript 11.0%
CMake 0.7%
Objective-C++ 0.5%
Swift 0.3%
Other 0.5%

It did seem like an odd decision maybe they thought better of it.
