just found out someone is building an independent JS-supporting terminal web browser in a memory-safe language: https://git.sr.ht/~bptato/chawan/

looks promising because so far all the other independent browsers other than Firefox are stuck using C or C++, which like ... have we learned nothing?

but also there's completely unhinged stuff like https://git.sr.ht/~bptato/chawan/tree/master/doc/localcgi.md (and I haven't thought about it enough to figure out whether "unhinged" is a compliment or not yet)

regret to inform you that it doesn't work, like at all =(

here's my blog, which is like the most 2004 kind of web site you can imagine--scrolling around the page results in all kinds of visual glitches, skipped paragraphs, and random control codes

oh well; maybe in a few years!

@technomancy exwm.... nerd.. (how do you cope with emacs freezing from time to time doing large operations? that's the main reason I stopped using it a while ago)

@lobo that doesn't happen on my setup

I mean even if I didn't use exwm, if I had some elisp that caused emacs to hang I would get rid of it! because that's shitty elisp

@technomancy hm that makes sense... I honestly don't remember what was it specifically that would make emacs hang on my setup, but I do remember it happening... so that might just be a me thing? maybe I should give it a go again

@lobo I mean there is a lot of shitty elisp out there, true

I'm pretty picky about what I will allow to run on my emacs and I understand that may not be viable for everyone: https://git.sr.ht/~technomancy/dotfiles/tree/main/item/.emacs.d/lib

but yeah, I would give it another go; you can use M-x toggle-debug-on-quit to get a stack trace whenever you see it hang; yeet the offender and repeat till it works smoothly?
