Houdini the new CSS Magic
summary
Houdini exposes low-level CSS entry points so JavaScript can polyfill missing features by registering Paint API worklets, using the CSS Typed OM and custom properties. The demos render random “dancing bars” and a conic-gradient implemented in a paint worklet; the conic polyfill runs in Chrome (noted since Chrome 65/canary) as a proof of concept. Browser support is minimal, specs for many Houdini pieces are draft, but the paint-based polyfills demonstrably work.
