I'm not claiming this or the vjeux's system (from the presentation link in my other post) are silver bullets, just that they are attempts to solve this specific problem. I'd argue that the reasons presented in vjeux's presentation are not of the clueless-developers-writing-crappy-css variety, although I do concede Facebook-scale problems are not common in the industry.
Personally, I agree that deviating from CSS syntax is not a viable solution for a large number of cases, and neither of those solutions is perfect. I just think it's cool that people are experimenting with different ways of creating collision-resistant styling tools, rather than sticking w/ the status quo.
- talmand 12y agoI think they are interesting as well, but if I see a problem being created in an attempt to address a problem then I say so. I'm sure many of the thoughts and ideas of such projects can be integrated into CSS to make it better, but they will be integrated into CSS. I would propose the author take this system and roll it into Grunt, or similar, where it would be much more useful as opposed to client side. You should see from my other comments on this topic that the majority of my objection is that it is a client-side solution which I think is the wrong approach.
