If so then the failure of the experiment should be acknowledged.

> It's functional enough to render web pages
> FastRender may not be a production-ready browser, but it represents over a million lines of Rust code, written in a few weeks, that can already render real web pages to a usable degree.
This is something that can be done in much less than a million lines of code. There must be a core somewhere in Fastrender--probably just a few thousands lines--which is putting together existing layout and graphics libraries and makes it render something to the screen.
Doing that in a few weeks isn't impressive, especially not when buried in a million lines of spaghetti code.

I'm pretty sure it renders far better than Fastrender(the edits the agents made to Taffy are probably nonsense), and I'm guessing it is at most 50k lines.
Conclusion:
In the light of the efforts to paper over failures, I'm calling Fastrender not a research project but propaganda.
