Bez project generates a browser engine from specs and tests
Original: Bez: Generating a browser engine from specs and tests Article URL: https:// tangled.org/burrito.space/bez Comments URL:
A new open-source project called Bez is drawing attention for its approach to building a browser engine: rather than hand-writing the code, it generates an engine directly from web specifications and their test suites. The project is published on the Tangled code platform and has surfaced on Hacker News, where early reactions are just starting to come in. The idea of deriving implementations from standards documents and conformance tests is prompting discussion about whether such automation could realistically produce a usable browser engine.
Why now: The novel idea of generating a browser engine automatically from specifications and tests is a fresh talking point among developers interested in browser internals and automation.
