Alas, opportunity cost. I can’t afford to not keep on my own path right now sticking to the things I have lots of experience with and some degree of mastery.

Ive only ever been able to change stacks when my employer allows me the ramp time so far (otherwise I seem to get hated by lack Of experience)

Now if they had a use for a highly skilled JS developer who is willing to learn C++ we could talk

I admit the C++ ramp up could be discouraging, but in the case of Chromium, it's a quite well documented project and its code review process is very helpful and friendly.

Other open source engines, like Gecko/Servo or WebKit offer similar incentives to start contributing to those projects, but perhaps Chromium has a bigger community and capacity to provide documentation or assist in the code reviews. In any case, all of them are built on top of an open and receptive communities.
