Yes in fact as some of you may remember I have already ported WebKit
to Haiku, though that port is now very out of date.
Once that is updated (and I don't expect SquirrelFish Extreme to be
too hard to port), we will have that engine on Haiku.
But I don't think a port of V8 is at all a bad idea. The more options
we have on Haiku, the better.
One thing I will say though, is that if you are going to work on a
browser Raymond, we should probably collaborate, since I need a
browser shell to put the WebKit port into. I am not sure what your
plans for the renderer were, but these days I don't think it is smart
to write your own renderer anymore when we have WebKit. But obviously
that is up to you.
I will admit I was kind of wanting to write my own browser anyhow, so
if you have other plans that is fine. As I said, options are always
good.
