    This makes a ton of sense to me with the huge corpus of web standards that exist. In theory we should be able to generate a browser from those specs, it just took a massive amount of effort before. Maybe if things like this get some traction, some of the human time spent implementing the spec could be spent on creating more/better specs, allowing for even better generation too.

      No, not really. The absolute vast majority of those specs are human technical and technical-adjacent language, not machine-readable specs.

      On top of that many web often invent new terminology because a lot of things are specced years or decades after something popular has taken over the term in userland.

    I'm looking forward to the day when we have fully functioning web browsers that we have full programmatic control over in all aspects.

    With luck all chromium/blink-based browsers will go the way of the dodo bird.

      I'm afraid internally they would still look like chromium/blink anyway.

    This is a neat idea. It opens up a whole new way to make a web app into a native app, while also adding native features not available in web views

    Is this named like Jev intentionally? Or is this just a new naming convention that I haven't been watching?
