Didn't Firefox put forward a big plan to basically implement the browser as an immediate mode UI designed to redraw everything on every frame?

- floatboth 8y agoWebRender is not just a "plan" but a real thing (I'm using it right now), and it's fully retained. Immediate doesn't mean just redrawing everything on every frame, immediate means what's described in the article — not keeping state. WR aggressively relies on kept state to optimize rendering of each frame as much as possible.
