@slightlyoff idle q: has anything been published about "Razor" (I'm bad at search and a .net thing called that makes it harder)? Engine optimized for a fast subset of HTML sounds like a great idea. I guess no relation to AMP (by my superficial understanding close to being a fast subset of HTML, among other things, but associated with garbage content and URLs)?

This is a thoughtful piece; what Chris didn't see were some of the failure modes of Hixie's hubris when it came to inventing new elements in HTML5 (see also: "what we need is WASM and WebGPU" pipe dreams). But it's spot-on about how Google has turned a... -

Folks are surprised to learn I put as much, or more, blame for the terrible state of frontend today on browsers as I do the JS community.@slightlyoff I'm intrigued by
> Browser vendors failed to put their money where their mouths have been on performance, paving endless open fields to create induced demand with every JS engine tweak, rarely stopping to ask if what they have done has actually lifted the average.
I can buy that more performance in part induces software bloat, not exclusive to JS but I guess well measured there. In what sense have browser vendors failed to put money...should they have spent LESS on JS engine perf?

So, is memory safety "woke" now?@soller hope so! "Based", too. If only capability-based security was as far along as memory safety in both the discourse and adoption, I'd have even more hope for humanity.
