To quote Ryosuke Niwa, one of the main developers in WebKit [1]:
> Many years ago, Apple's WebKit team argued that we should have declarative way to define custom elements without scripts but we lost to the aggressive push by Google to get things shipped and iterate on it later ASAP.

- inopinatus 5y agoThis is whining about process and not getting your way, which just confirms my earlier hypothesis about fragile egos. Apple are complaining here about their own failure to be convincing. They’ve then had the better part of a decade to find a better approach, and produced nothing concrete. Compounding one failure with another doesn’t improve their position. This isn’t David v Goliath; WHATWG has four members, and none of them are underdogs. None of the participants here deserve even a shred of sympathy.
