> the API is not meant to be elegant @annevk I don't think the WHATWG should consider an API only for speed. The DOM APIs are public for web developers to use so usability of APIs shouldn't be forgotten or tossed away (this is how we ended up with jQuery and a new front end framework every two weeks). The DOM API is inelegant enough as is. I would like to see more re-usage of existing APIs where possible (which I see no reason why you couldn't do so while still accomplishing the goals of the proposal). I'm curious how efficient the passing of node objects to and from web workers would be. I could see that being useful in more scenarios than just this one. Yeah I wouldn't be expecting transactions for any type of GUI state. It would be cool but yeah implementing it efficiently while maintaining generic capabilities is very difficult. --- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
