I'm excited about the recent work on CSS (particular Houdini). I haven't felt like this since I got a book of IE 5.5 features. Don't get me wrong -- CSS has gotten a lot of new features over the last 14 years, but they've been like basic things you kind of expect in a style framework, like new layout options or variables.
But IE devs were unhinged. You could build JS code as a module and attach it to elements using CSS.
Finally we're getting those kind of unhinged features again.

- colordrops 2y agoUnclear to me wether you are using the term "unhinged" in a positive or negative way
- treflop 2y agoLol i mean in a good way. I like a little unhinged sometimes
- kcrwfrd_ 2y agoLol that’s how css3pie (http://css3pie.com/ http://css3pie.com/) worked, right?
- treflop 2y agoYeah. It causally allowed you to extend the CSS engine in a simplistic way, like what Houdini allows you to do. Houdini is likely way more performant though and substantially way more fleshed out.
