> Starting Goal: a modern, standards compliant web engine library for Plan 9
As others have pointed out that's pretty hard to define, but in the current web world, you can cover a surprisingly large fraction of sites if you have good JavaScript and CSS support. Running Java in the browser isn't as trendy as it once was, so the big missing piece would be Flash, which of course, is the root of all evil. > Options: > > * write from scratch > > * port existing codebase There's one other possibility that I've thought about. Inferno's browser charon is more capable than it might appear. It has some degree of JavaScript support. The main thing I've noticed when trying to use it for some day-to-day browsing is that it lacks CSS and could use some work on performance. I suspect that adding CSS to charon and doing some performance work on it would be easier than either of those two options. BLS
