The Extensible Web: JavaScript All the Way Down
summary
A concrete agenda emerges: the Extensible Web Manifesto pushes low level primitives into JavaScript and already yields wins like the template tag and a dialog element entering specs and Blink work moving select toward shadow DOM so styling and accessibility stop requiring full JS rebuilds. ES6/7 features named include proxies, object.observe and class extends Array, while missing pieces are a unified streams API, a fetch primitive, and gzip/zlib bindings. Standards work moves to GitHub and TAG seats are flipping to reformers.
