9 months ago Thank you for proposing CSS Painting API Level 1 (houdini) for inclusion in Interop 2024.
We wanted to let you know that this proposal was not selected to be part of Interop this year.
This is because we got many more proposals than we could include in this year's project. Note that individual vendors may nevertheless choose to advance work in this area during the forthcoming year. We would welcome this proposal being resubmitted again next year if necessary.
For an overview of our process, see proposal selection. Thank you again for contributing to Interop 2024!

Workarounds
There's a polyfill (https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/css-paint-polyfill) but must admit that it hasn't performed so great for me. Sometimes just flat out doesn't respond in Firefox at all. (Maybe because it piggy backs on -moz-element() which isn't fully implemented in FF?)
Worth noting that including the polyfill sometimes kills the benefits of the paintAPI. One of the big paintAPI wins is complex images in a small file size. If you have to include an extra file download (the poylfill) on top of the paint worklet then the overall file size associated with using the paintAPI becomes larger and you might just be better off using an image.

If only one of the Houdini APIs is chosen again this year i believe it is better to go with TypedOM. So that it is in place and usable when the PaintAPI is ultimately added.
