Cascading Styles (a CSS deep dive)
A lot has changed in the nearly 30 years since CSS was first proposed,
and new features are shipping at an unprecedented rate –
cascade layers, container queries, the :has() selector,
wide-gamut colors, subgrid, and so much more.
Meanwhile, we’re still getting used to custom properties and basic grids! Taken one at a time, the list can feel overwhelming, but these features all fit together to form a highly systemic language based on a radical foundation: the cascade of styles.
