@slightlyoff They should take the approach #PHP has taken over the last decade - rapid release of modernizing updates, eventually leaving the old behind.
Honestly I'm shocked with browsers being essentially down to a single monopoly now... why JS is still *almost* the same as it was 15 years ago! 🤦♀️
Just fix it #Chromium.... ffs.
@syntaxseed Progress on the web is rate-limited by Apple. If you want that to change (i.e., by Apple facing enough competition that it is forced to staff WebKit above starvation levels), supporting @owa is the most effective thing you can do.
@slightlyoff @syntaxseed I’d also add that it also takes developers to contributing back to standards. It’s not a black box. GitHub was feeding back to Web Standards from the beginning. Exactly what is lacking, and what platform-compatible prototypes are out there—were what browsers asked of my old team the most. GH JS built polyfills, sent patches, demoed how 50 lines of code can be reduced to a one liner if an API was exposed. Things got implemented. The web got better.
