This is good historical context but missing one bit and another deserves clarification.
The nesting semantics has been a part of SASS/SCSS for the better part of a decade before the proposal, which is now pretty much standard in CSS pre-/post-processing.
It’s been available to use all that time, but AFAIK still requires a build tool. It’s only now becoming a tentative possibility in userland.
- JimDabell 5y agoYes, sorry, I was assuming knowledge of Sass etc. When I first saw this link I thought “Hang on a sec., this says ‘First Public Working Draft’, but hasn’t this spec. been around for ages?” I figured people might make the mistake that this was something new that the W3C were only just getting around to rather than something that has been cooking for a long time. Didn’t mean to imply that the spec. itself sprang up out of nowhere – it was definitely based on the Sass work that came before it, and you have been able to use this syntax with Sass for a very long time!
