Use Sass-like markup in your CSS (by jonathantneal)
twin.macro
🦹‍♂️ Twin blends the magic of Tailwind with the flexibility of css-in-js (emotion, styled-components, solid-styled-components, stitches and goober) at build time. (by ben-rogerson)

Speed up Next.js build with Typescript and Tailwind CSS
In this process, we had to get rid of two PostCSS plugins that were not updated to work with PostCSS 8, which is required by @tailwindcss/jit: precss and postcss-rtl, both of which are unmaintained and won't be updated.

Fixing Class Composition in Tailwind CSS
One of the more promising alternatives is twin.macro - a Babel macro that processes Tailwind classes to generate JS objects understandable by various CSS-in-JS libraries. The developer experience (DX) of using it is amazing as you not only get all of Tailwind’s features without much change to your code, but you also get much more flexibility - all that on top of the traditional benefits of CSS-in-JS. Here’s an example code:

Stailwc: an swc plugin for transpiling tailwind directives at compile time
The blocker for us using it is our use of an excellent library called twin.macro which is built against babel's transpilation APIs to parse tailwindcss directives at compile time so that they may be used with css-in-js libraries. This efficiently bundles your css so that you only ship the precise css you use. The problem is, it's all quite slow.
