Gecko is also written primarily in c++, which means porting a c++ compiler to plan 9 would still remain a prerequisite for that path also. (I haven't done a valid evaluation of gecko vs. webkit; I've built and poked around webkit, but haven't done the same for gecko. My c skills are rather humble, but my c++ skills are entirely non-existant... so I'm unable to perform a valid evaluation of the two anyhow) On Saturday, April 30, 2011 05:18:03 AM Ethan Grammatikidis wrote: > Possibly another option: > * netsurf > Very cool, that's another potential port candidate that I wasn't aware of - and it's written in c, which lowers the bar quite a bit. I'll definitely take a closer look at netsurf next weekend, maybe it's a more realistic target. Thanks!
