I would be very much interested in articles on how to write a CSS layout engine from scratch


Not exactly what you are looking for, but if you haven't seen it, firefox has some really interesting blog posts about how their css engine works, e.g. https://hacks.mozilla.org/2017/08/inside-a-super-fast-css-en... that i personally found really enlightening


This is great, thanks for sharing!


I've been considering writing such a thing. Although I've only implemented Flexbox and CSS Grid so far. The CSS specifications for those algorithms are worth reading if you're interested in this kind of thing. They're a challenging read, but not an impossible one.


Fair advice, thanks
