Was this the rationale behind the extensible web manifesto? That sounded so promising, but then seemed not to gain much traction...

Hmm imo there’s not a lot of snazzy traction it can gain. It’s just an agreement that browsers need to spec low level apis, which they have been doing. They haven’t added any new types to input, so I feeeel it’s working?

I focused more on the prollyfill aspect. But clearly not everyone's gotten the memo, e.g. passive event listeners.

What I'd hoped to see was more dialogue and an improved feedback loop between frameworks and standards.

For all I know there may be, but I haven't, for example, heard of any React-sourced standards proposals from Facebook.

Sure, low level is in there, but so is "virtuous cycle," and prioritizing efforts that align over those that don't.

I mean wc was specced as v0 for 3 years before the spec settled; similarly, Houdini?

Can you expand on that? Not sure I get what you mean.

The web components spec wasn’t final for like over 3 years as developers/browsers weren’t convinced it was ready to be final. Isn’t that the virtuous cycle?

Hmm. Food for thought. But if WCs are a good example of the end game, well, refer to this thread's OP.

React engineers have showed up to TC39; that has been pretty positive for everyone. That said, React takes a different approach to platform evolution than, e.g., Polymer does. We can only hold the door open, can't make them walk through it.

And what
@notwaldorf said is right: extensible web manifesto has been hugely influential. Lots of proposals for new one-off, high-level attributes and elements have been shot down as a result.1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes - 4 more replies
