I always find it interesting that Chrome is charging ahead full steam on experimental API's like this while most other browsers have given no intent to implement them yet.
Did Chrome come up with Houdini? Are they being brave or pushy here?

Houdini is a task force that consists of people from Apple, Mozilla, Microsoft, Chrome, even IBM and Samsung. It’s by no means a Chrome-only thing or us being pushy.
Servo has an experimental implementation, but it’s the part of Servo that hasn’t been merged into FF. All participating browser vendors have given very positive signals about CSS Paint API.

Most certainly not. I know people at Mozilla who've been working on Houdini-related features for a while now (cf. https://wiki.mozilla.org/CSS/Houdini). Chrome is just the first to release here.
