Do you feel like being a developer is what you want to do for the rest of your life or is it a transitional state to something else? In other words, what do you want to become when you grow up?

JSS does a great job at solving some problems with CSS, but the implementation can be more elegant. By implementation you mean the syntax, right?

Thanks, so mainly your concern is about objects notation. Thats totally fine.

I fear that would mean a lot of overhead compared to if done directly. I think EQCSS syntax is a higher level abstraction than object notation. It can be done on top.

@tomhodgins lots of interesting ideas in your spec. I also use $ref syntax in some JSS plugins for e.g. https://github.com/cssinjs/jss-nested but I call them "refs". I wonder if element queries could be a jss plugin using objects notation.

some of us are not interested how the language works CSS was not designed for components and large sites. Even it's full understanding doesn't allow you to scale it in team and code size in a robust way. Its global nature with documents in mind works just for relatively small projects. This is not to blame on developers who don't understand how CSS works. Isolation I guess by isolation you mean scoping, basically automated unique selectors, right? I will publish an article soon which explains the difference between scoping and isolation. They are very different terms. not coupling your CSS with JS or the rendering process CSS and JS are already coupled if you render/manipulate html using JS. I was disappointed by the implementation and ofc real world applications I am curious to hear specific problems you stumbled over!

Yeah, really just trying to get rid of the regular CSS maintenance nightmare … We gain something, we loose something, but we move forward.

I wish this "maintainable" keyword would be true for all of us.

Why the hell you didn't invite me to heliskiing?!!!
