I want to echo what the DJ has said. I managed to write a pretty decent
gadget in just a couple of hours thanks to Codex, something that used to
take days at least. This is really exciting to see. Thank you to all who
have worked on this tirelessly for years. Kudos and congratulations.

Congratulations team (and the predecessor teams) !

We started talking about needing a new way forward all the way back in
2017, with an RFC started in 2019, we choose Vue in 2020 and the teams have
been building new foundations since, so far culminating in Codex !!

I'm sure there is much work left to do as the web and MediaWiki is ever
evolving. Just recently the web finally added CSS nesting

for instance, and new features like :has()
 and :user-valid()
 selectors.
Unfortunately Wikipedia/MediaWiki and specifically user scripts can have
problems trying to keep up with so many changes. It is great to see that es6
, less
, import,
require  and
recently even source maps  are
slowly finding their way into our ecosystem, all while supporting as many
older browsers as possible and building one of the fastest websites in the
world.

These improvements are only possible because dedicated people work hard to
analyze the problems and these changes, devise solutions to slowly
introduce them without breaking everything, align peers, fight to get time
to work on it. All to shepherd them into existence, laborious and
challenging as it may be at times.

Keep up the great work, but lets take a moment and celebrate the official
birth of an entire new design system !

DJ
