They were all in the room at last discussion (TPAC) and have been collaborating on design for years. But far behind on worklet infra: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Worklet … That said, they don't feel threading mistakes as badly: either high-end mobile (Safari) or mostly desktop users (FF).

Gecko and WebKit have partial impls behind flags for various bits. Meanwhile in Chromium we've shipped the (co-designed) Audio Worklet, Paint Worklet (soon to be off-thread), and Animation Worklet. Each of these is a sea change in what's possible in their respective subsystems.

AW isn't as useful as it needs to be, and Scroll Timeline fixes (a lot of) that. Exciting times!
