27: Houdini Series: Typed OM

In this episode we go over the TypedOM, a new API for parsing, converting, creating and managing CSS. It's typed, as the name suggests, and these typings not only help developers find bugs, they can make properties animateable natively in the engine.  Links MDN Typed OM Reference → https://goo.gle/3n2FrC9 Spec → https://goo.gle/32fq94O caniuse attributeStyleMap →  https://goo.gle/3leR0Fu caniuse computedStyleMap →  https://goo.gle/3p40ENy
