Implementing this with WebKit would be massive overkill; I'd say it's quite unlikely it's implemented with it.
- tcdent 11y agoIf you implemented a web-like runtime from the ground up, you're saying you would write it from scratch? The runtime has JavaScript support, it does not have a brand new interpreter. The runtime has CSS support, it does not have a brand new interpreter. The runtime has HTML/XML syntax. Why would they write a brand new interpreter?
- wvenable 11y agoBecause the XML syntax maps directly onto UI components; introducing an HTML canvas is vastly more complicated than that. Mappping XML to a small subset of UI objects is so simple you don't really need to pull in an entire browser runtime for it.
