I built a CSS selector engine that uses BigInt bitmasks and a dual Bloom bucket index instead of DOM traversal — AQE is

I've been frustrated with querySelectorAll performance in high-frequency scenarios for a while. On large DOMs (10k+ nodes) with 50–100 queries/second — think virtual DOM diffing, live dashboards, design tools — it becomes a real bottleneck. So I built AQE (Atomic Quantum Engine): a CSS selector engine that replaces tree traversal with flat, memory-mapped bitwise operations. HOW IT WORKS Every DOM node gets a 64-bit BigInt bitmask. Each CSS token (tag, .class, #id, [attr], pseudo-class) maps to a
