    css layers mostly now, and then variables, and calc. Soon we're getting custom functions too!

    I thought CSS was for things like layout and fonts. How would genuine programming features factor in? Is this about replacing JavaScript?

    CSS is for StyleSheets (so yes layout and font but also more). Adding these features allows for more reactive/responsive styles where the style may be behaviorally defined instead of hardcoding styles.

    Basically the only thing I can think of to do with it is some kind of reactive layout that crunches some data and responds to it. IDK, I'm not a web dev and try to avoid CSS when I can.
