Exciting news for fans of typography!
"For decades, software like Adobe InDesign and LaTeX has evaluated multiple lines of text at a time as they decide where to end one line and begin the next. It’s just that the web didn’t use a multiline algorithm. Until now.
We are excited to bring this capability to the web for the first time, in Safari Technology Preview 216."

I would like to believe that. But looking at the number of sites I visit that are brimming with animations, I could not help but laugh at that statement.
@bjorndown In fairness, it's possible to *both* be concerned about browser performance *and* send 100MB of JavaScript dependencies to the browser ;)
Being concerned about something doesn't mean that it's, on balance, a valid concern haha
@pablo_martan Well, the Safari team has no control over what other vendors do. That enhancement would need to follow whatever process Chromium et. al. have, right?
