Getting extra with CSS Houdini
summary
Houdini actually lets authors write JavaScript worklets that hook into the CSS pipeline so browsers can understand new CSS from the start: the CSS.registerProperty example shows typed, interpolatable variables; the Typed OM and attributeStyleMap replace string parsing for better performance; the paint worklet uses a Canvas-like API to render backgrounds (demo converts a canvas sparkle generator into a paint worklet). It requires flags or HTTPS, is experimental but runs off the main thread for speed, and needs progressive‑enhancement fallbacks.
