Future of CSS: Functions and Mixins
Traditionally CSS lacked features such as variables, nesting, mixins, and functions. This was frustrating for Developers as it often led to CSS quickly becoming complex and cumbersome. In an attempt to make code easier and less repetitive CSS pre-processors were born. You would write CSS in the format the pre-processor understood and, at build time, you'd have some nice CSS. The most common pre-processors these days are Sass, Less, and Stylus. Any examples I give going forward will be about Sass as that's what I'm most familiar with.

CSS: The Good Parts

Vanilla+PostCSS as an Alternative to SCSS
While we may disagree whether Sass is still relevant today, Mayank's case for using Sass in 2022 sums up the many use cases for Sass/SCSS including a timeline from 2006 (Sass) to "2022+" (nesting). Nesting CSS used to one of the few good reasons left to choose Sass, SCSS (or less) in a new web project.

I created a Zero-Runtime CSS-in-JS Library Compatible with Next.js App Router and RSC
Over my years of working with React, I’ve loved using CSS-in-JS libraries like Emotion and Styled-components. However, their inherent performance overhead from injecting CSS at runtime and their incompatibility with the latest Next.js features such as App Router and React Server Components (RSC) have always been a nagging issue for me.

In general I recommend using styled-components or emotion. These directly attach CSS to your components in a scoped way so that your CSS files aren’t stepping on each other’s toes all the time and make sure styling is colocated with the component.
