Somewhat - Kling is explicitly 'apolitical' and this always attracts a certain ilk of people.

And - maybe this is a stretch, but you also have to consider that the competing product (Servo) is written in Rust, while Ladybird is C++.

From what you read on hn, I think Rusts community being very liberal sort of resulted in memory safety being perceived as a culture war thing by some; ("authoritarian big compiler is forcing you to not free this memory" vs "the handmade c programmer with his artisanal allocations"). So Ladybird not being written in a safe language might be part of the appeal.

And I know that Ladybird is supposed to adopt Swift, but I don't think any single LOC has been written yet?
