That's a good point, buddy. Jeremy Falcon

Nah. To make it any good it needs access to the type information the compiler has built up. It can be a separate pass like C++ does to make it work, but it needs to be integrated into the compiler to do things like typed arguments and specialization.

The basic hierarchy is - Customer - Requirement/business cases - Architecture - Design - Implementation - Test - Delivery - Repeat steps as necessary. And there are other factors that influence that. - Providing a solution that is robust, fast, etc. - Updating old code - Security - Making sure that something is delivered so money can be made to pay the bills. - etc The roles that any one person might successfully fulfill depend on their own experience and their coworkers skill as well. An 'architect' might be able to fulfill the first 4 roles but not be great at the detail work needed for the levels under that. A developer might seem to have adequate knowledge of both the business and the code but fail when the business changes. Of course failures can come from many places. I know of specific case where a service was created, delivered and successfully used but a contract very early in the company history guaranteed they could not make enough money to keep going. In another case a design or perhaps implementation decision lead to a multi-billion dollar company failing in less than a year due to a security problem. Or a developer that was handed a detailed design and decided to ignore it producing a solution that did not meet the business needs the design dealt with. This is all impacted by complexity. A single man shop would need to provide all of that. But when a company has thousands of employees single employees just cannot learn everything needed to manage all roles. I have worked at companies where test automation was handled by a team of employees.

OK, got it. Reminds me of the old IBM Block mode terminals that had a physical map (with all literal fields and color specs, input specs and protection specs) and a data map that was only the fields that returned values. Both were sent to the terminal which would use a forward only processing to paint the screen and enable the unprotected fields. Any action key on the terminal transmitted only the data map to the invoking program. It was up to the program to split the data map back into fields and do any validation and processing of the data. (very efficient use of transmission bandwidth in the old days.) :)

Oh, and to be fair, browser compatibility is where the real pain the booty comes in. Unfortunately, most browser makers (cough, cough Microsoft) hate following standards. Was even worse in the past when there was no standards committee as everyone was fighting for web dominance. But, thank God it's much better these days. Anywho, the site `Can I Use` will be your new BFF for web development as it'll list browser compatibility. You can automate all of this of course if you have a proper dev environment set up in Node, but for a quick check it's still a great site to know. Here, I'm checking to see which browsers support viewport units like `100vh`. So, they've been around for about 10 years now, which makes them pretty safe to rely on with this. For people with an old browser that doesn't support flexbox or viewport units, it just won't span the entire viewport unless there's content. No biggie. Site still works.

I mean, that's javascript though. I'm more talking about parsing and interpreting CSS properly on embedded systems, no JavaScript. Think a stripped down webkit for small embedded devices. CSS as it stands requires the DOM. There's a reasonable subset of it in terms of selector syntax that wouldn't require a DOM and could be forward only parsed.
