Hi Blink Developers,
To improve compliance with Google's C++ style guide and prevent global namespace pollution, we are deprecating and unifying the WTF namespace into the blink namespace.
Most symbols have already been moved to the blink namespace. While some symbols, like WTF::Vector and WTF::BindOnce, still have aliases in the WTF namespace, please use their blink:: counterparts for all new code.
I'd like to extend a big thank you to the following individuals for their valuable contributions to this cleanup effort:
