Interview Session with Lea Verou
summary
Houdini claims to expose low-level browser internals so developers can register new CSS properties and write custom CSS functions and thus avoid waiting years for features (conic gradients get implemented after about five years). It also promises much easier CSS polyfills by letting code parse and generate styles rather than fetch and reparse files. An HTML-first language called Malvo exists as an open source project released last year to let CRUD apps be expressed with HTML instead of bespoke JavaScript.
