Yeah I realize that. My go-to comparison would be PDF. Where Firefox has PDF.js (I think?), Chromium just… implements basically seemingly the entire (exhaustive!) standard.

Thanks for these explanations, that makes a lot more sense now. I didn’t even think to consider browsers might be using something else than an off-the-shelf implementation for image/other file formats…, lol

Honest question, since I have no clue about web/browser engines other than being able to maybe name 4-5 of them (Ladybird, Servo, Webkit, Gecko, … shit, what was Chromium’s called again?):

What makes browsers/browser engines so difficult that they need millions upon millions of LOC?

Naively thinking, it’s “just” XML + CSS + JS, right? (Edit: and then the networking stack/hyperlinks)

So what am I missing? (Since I’m obviously either forgetting something and/or underestimating how difficult engines for the aforementioned three are to build…)

Ooh, you’re totally right!! I forgot about that since it’s not in the older versions.

Fun fact, if you’re forced to write against POSIX shell, you aren’t allowed to use these options, since they’re not a thing, which is (part of) the reason why for example Google doesn’t allow any shell language but bash, lol.

Then you’ll have to find the time later when this leads to bugs. If you write against bash while declaring it POSIX shell, but then a random system’s sh doesn’t implement a certain thing, you’ll be SOL. Or what exactly do you mean by “match standards”?

Well yeah, with CSS and user interaction it’s understandable… as I’ve linked above.

The question was if this is possible for purely-HTML markup descriptions without CSS nor clicks, and it was a rhetorical one.

So where in that can I encode an arbitrary program? Like one could do in JavaScript?

Who is “it” which interprets things? Is it part of HTML/CSS?

Boy have we got the API for you!

Replace all spaces with the unicode non-breaking space that looks the same.

Although I know at least some language servers will detect this and mark it as an error, lol.

Wrong. Well, at least incomplete.

You need user interaction (e.g., clicking on a button) and HTML & CSS for Turing Completeness, apparently.

Trying to perform DRM? Hell yeah!

I only learned that this was a thing like literally two days ago!

C# is basically Java and from what I can tell, this looks approximately valid.

Variables can always* be named freely to your liking.

*You used to have to stick to the Latin alphabet, but that’s increasingly not the case anymore. Emoji-named variables FTW!

not sure WHAT the Roman one is holding

Spoon and fork, duh!

Bone Apple Tea has a Wikipedia entry?!

Why does it compare against $1 for the string match? Wouldn’t kudasai be at the end of something like $*?

No kitty graphics protocol? 🤨😔
