> “The original idea is that it would be declarative and fairly easy for font designers to work with, but in practice it's pretty clunky, and doesn't scale well as complexity goes up.” A sentence that also applies to CSS. Declarative systems for design tend to fail. I dream of the day when baroque CSS layout rules can also be replaced with tiny WASM programs for computing the exact layout your application needs.
