There are discussions from time to time, since very long, about
writing a Web browser in Ada.
The main idea would have a safe browser.
Actually today's issues about security in Web browsers remarkably seem
of the same kind as ten years ago, just a bit more frequent and acute.
Did someone give a try ?
I guess the following libraries would be considered:
- AWS, for the HTTP requests
- GtKAda, for a portable GUI
- the least possible bindings and the most possible Ada code for
decoding images and other contents
