There's a big discussion this week over on Hacker News covering Ryan Mulligan's recent blog post: CSS @property and the New Style. The post is about CSS's new @property at-rule, which has recently gained full support across all modern browsers.
You can read the Hacker News discussion here. It's interesting how the overall response is a lot of negative feedback and people scratching their heads wondering why we're trying to do 'programming things' with CSS and 'isn't this just CSS variables?'.
As some pointed out, it's probably useful to go over the MDN article on the subject first before delving into Ryan's post.
Now on to this week's tools!
