A new technique allows streaming HTML content out of order without requiring JavaScript, using Shadow DOM and Declarative Shadow DOM for server-side rendering.

Why it matters: Enables faster, more flexible server-rendered web pages without relying on JavaScript frameworks or client-side scripts.

The big picture: Streaming HTML is regaining popularity alongside full stack frameworks, improving perceived performance and resource loading.

Browser support: Declarative Shadow DOM is supported in Chrome, Safari, and now Firefox, with polyfills available for others.

Commenters say: Users are excited about reduced JavaScript dependency and improved performance, while some discuss browser quirks and implementation complexity.
