About this talk
This talk covers the Houdini task force and its mission to enhance CSS by introducing new APIs that allow for prototyping and polyfilling similar to what JavaScript offers. The speaker discusses the challenges developers face with CSS, including the delays in browser support for new features and the inability of JavaScript to polyfill certain CSS properties. By hooking into the browser rendering engine, Houdini enables developers to experiment with and implement advanced CSS features more easily. The session also highlights practical examples of Houdini's potential applications and suggests relevant technologies that developers should start learning in preparation for its future release.
