### Problem
It’s really exciting to have vector tiles hosted for the first time on
openstreetmap.org!
Currently, vector tiles are displayed using `maplibre-gl-leaflet`, which wraps
`maplibre-gl-js` in the same Leaflet A

I’m optimistic that all of these things can be built efficiently with
maplibre-gl-js, and many of them can even provide _better_ interoperability
with the map in a “vector-native” environment compared to with raster tiles!

As an aside, although I haven’t contributed to this codebase in the past, I
have some experience building interactive vector map applications with these
tools, and I’d be enthusiastic about volunteering time + effort to this

tbf most of that diff was the addition of leaflet itself to `vendor`, but agree
it’s a big effort.

maplibre-gl-leaflet is a wrapper around maplibre-gl-js, so to my understanding
any features it implements are supported by maplibre-gl-js.
Do you have any examples of missing features?

I think you’re right; I’ll update the original issue.

My original idea _was_ to “use two separate map display libraries on the same
page” — we could switch out / instantiate the underlying map implementation
when the user switches map layers, and we could adjust front-end code

Well, in principle it’s possible to feature-detect webgl support, and then skip
initializing the client-rendered maps when the layers pane is opened where
webgl is unsupported.

@gravitystorm @tomhughes does openstreetmap-website have a current policy on
what the browser support target is for Java
