Split Rust program compilation so code generation and assembly finish before the main thread materializes GC-backed executable objects. The new CompiledProgram handle owns the parsed program, generator state, and bytecode until C++ consumes it on the main thread. Wire WebContent script fetching through that handle for classic scripts and modules. Syntax-error paths still return ParsedProgram, so existing error reporting stays in place. Successful fetches now do top-level codegen on the thread pool before deferred_invoke hands control back to the main thread. Executable creation, SharedFunctionInstanceData materialization, module metadata extraction, and declaration data extraction still run on the main thread where VM and GC access is valid. |

Ladybird
Ladybird is a truly independent web browser, using a novel engine based on web standards.
Important
Ladybird is in a pre-alpha state, and only suitable for use by developers
Features
We aim to build a complete, usable browser for the modern web.
Ladybird uses a multi-process architecture with a main UI process, several WebContent renderer processes, an ImageDecoder process, and a RequestServer process.
Image decoding and network connections are done out of process to be more robust against malicious content. Each tab has its own renderer process, which is sandboxed from the rest of the system.
At the moment, many core library support components are inherited from SerenityOS:
- LibWeb: Web rendering engine
- LibJS: JavaScript engine
- LibWasm: WebAssembly implementation
- LibCrypto/LibTLS: Cryptography primitives and Transport Layer Security
- LibHTTP: HTTP/1.1 client
- LibGfx: 2D Graphics Library, Image Decoding and Rendering
- LibUnicode: Unicode and locale support
- LibMedia: Audio and video playback
- LibCore: Event loop, OS abstraction layer
- LibIPC: Inter-process communication
How do I build and run this?
See build instructions for information on how to build Ladybird.
Ladybird runs on Linux, macOS, Windows (with WSL2), and many other *Nixes.
How do I read the documentation?
Code-related documentation can be found in the documentation folder.
