- zarzavat 1y agoWriting JS JITs is a specialized skill that requires a deep knowledge of compilers, JavaScript, and CPU architectures. CSS is complicated but it's not as complex. It's just a matter of throwing enough sufficiently competent developers at the problem. Ladybird doesn't even have a JIT right now. They used to, but it got taken out because as best as I can tell, nobody on the project knows how to write one.
