      Given that chrome has a near monopoly don't you think you should maybe not ship something as stable before other browsers have it to not reinforce the monopoly?

      These situations arise only after we: - design in public - beg for feedback (which we usually don't get in a timely way) - write the specs *and* the tests - send designs for wide review - (usually) experiment (via OT) for multiple releases

      Was Safari’s feedback that the race condition around adding stylesheets was a “show stopper” before, or after this was shipped to Chrome Stable?

      Just came here to say: if you're going to beat up on companies and individuals at companies for trying to make things better, we'll end up with a stagnant ecosystem.

      Questioning the decisions that were made by the Google Chrome team, as it affects web standards is “beating up on people?!”

      Alex has offered a pretty thurough explanation of their process and offered to schedule a call with Rich to discuss. What would "good enough" look like?

      Achieving consensus with other browsers before shipping things (as stable) to the most dominant browser in the world. Why more people aren’t pissed that Chrome is abusing their market power to push their pet projects into the web platform is beyond me.

      Have you ever tried to drive consensus amongst a group of people? Try doing the same thing with a group of for-profit companies with competing goals. Waiting for complete "consensus" is how momentum stops.

      The Chrome team has been the driving force behind many of the capabilities that allow me to build better web apps. If we waited for Safari to lead the way (or catch up), what would that look like?

      SW come to mind. You may be thinking of others. Was iDB Google’s doing? Props if so I’d be curious if Google pushed headlong with any of them even after other implementors called out “showstoppers” on very real problems (race condition on mundane async code to add a stylesheet!)

      The "race condition" term here is misleading. It belies a misunderstanding of the event loop or scopes, hard to tell from the thread. Neither is a good look in debates about style application.

          Subtle race conditions affecting which stylesheet is applied in which order absolutely exist, but really are the least of the problems with this api. https://twitter.com/rich_harris/status/1220479580298977281?s=21 …https://twitter.com/Rich_Harris/status/1220479580298977281 …

          async function add_this_stylesheet(href) { document.aSS = [...document.aSS, await import(href)]; } add_this_stylesheet('./foo.css'); add_this_stylesheet('./bar.css'); Whichever stylesheet comes over the network first will get blown away by the second one

          Input on compatible improvements is greatly appreciated. It's how progress gets made on platforms. Arguing about how this is illegitimate because it isn't yet perfect is 🤯, particularly when "fix" is trivial.
