    After being virtually dead, it’s had a lot more development over the last few years(?), with steady progress towards passing the tests and supporting the specs (including reporting spec bugs and vagueness). It’s still a long way from being generally usable.

    The focus is on making something that could be embeddable, although there are basic browsers using that embed. The focus seems to be on for use-cases like Electron, which doesn’t need all of the web APIs.

    I don’t use it or contribute (yet), but I have their blog in my RSS reader and so keep an eye on it.

    To be fair, you’ve added commas which makes it a parenthetical phrase. But yeah - people do speak like this in real life; technically, I should have said no-one speaks like this in non-impromptu speech without sounding stilted.

    “Carl said on Thursday” is definitely more idiomatic (to my BrE ears, anyway) than “Carl on Thursday said”.









  • It turns out that people on Lemmy are no better responsibly using a downvote button than anywhere else. I think you should have to at least select a reason why you’re downvoting to add some friction - maybe options something like “I don’t like this”, “I disagree”, “This is factually incorrect”, “Spam”, “Abusive language”, etc. Then you can filter out the first two!
