Can we now say CSS is the best programming language

[@syntaxfm]

My favorite programming language - Scott

[@studiousllama4776]

Wow. After 20 years, SASS's integration into vanilla CSS will finally be complete. End of an era

[@syntaxfm]

It’s beautiful

[@shawj]

There's been so many non-starts on both mixins and functions that I'll believe it when I see it.

[@syntaxfm]

This one comes from Miriam Suzanne who brought us container queries, something we never thought would get through. Def better than a long shot.

[@clevermissfox]

For loops in css is my favourite thing about sass. Hoping it will come to vanilla css someday or theres a function that could simulate it

[@clevermissfox]

Also where do regular people go to [politely] give feedback on proposals? I did look for any links in the video description

[@simenhagen86]

Hi , when using sass i feel like its for generating utility classes., and making color maps.
cant the same be achieved with tailwind css easier? still a newb here so most likley don't see the bigger picture her:)

[@mogelilortkipanidze3852]

@apply/mixins were abandoned in 2018 for some solvable reasons lol

[@vidhill]

[@FernsDad]
