    We have a "write tachyons/tailwinds CSS-in-TypeScript" project [1] that can sit on top of any CSS-in-JS runtime (emotion and fela are both supported).

    I'm hoping to eventually find one of these build-time CSS-in-JS frameworks that is smart enough to partially eval ~80% of our `

    ` expressions to be zero runtime.

    And, if/when this happens, do this as a seamless upgrade to our existing codebases, i.e. without any lines of `css={Css.m4.black.$}` in our app need to change.

    Basically we're using our Truss DSL both for atomic/utility class names today + a decoupling layer to switch CSS-in-JS libs in the future if/when needed.

    I think Linaria and https://github.com/twstyled/twstyled (based on/forked from Linaria) are the closest to doing this eval during compilation, but haven't had to dig in so far (runtime emotion has been fast enough for us so far).
