It’s nice and all but usage of Swift is kind of not great.
Why is Swift bad?
Also, I noticed the project has taken donations from mostly non-foss companies. Let’s hope they stand by their principles
Welp, I haven’t seen anyone learn Swift other than for Apple stuff these days. So I wonder how many can actually contribute to the code. It’s also made by Apple, so yeah.

As someone insecure in their masculinity I don’t know if u would use ladybird. Now if it was MANbird I would.
They should have called it ManDrill. Nothing more masculine than drilling a man.
