What makes this 'functional'? Is it related to functional programming? Or is it used as a synonym for 'usable'?
From the `learn-tachyons` project in the other comment: https://github.com/dwyl/learn-tachyons#functional-css-is
It’d be nice if something like Inter[0], which is specifically designed for onscreen/UI usage, were bundled with each OS and could be assumed to be present, making it unnecessary to include Arial or Helvetica in one’s stack.

WEll, I wrote a functional CSS framework that is platform agnostic. It was built on sass. Post: https://www.minid.net/2019/4/7/the-css-utilitarian-methodolo..., github https://github.com/meerita/utilcss I am working a different project now, and now I evolved it to simply pure css files that i compile later with postcss and purge everything.
This is really Tailwind before Tailwind. I didn't know about it.
I'm working on a css style copying project on the side (DivMagic https://divmagic.com/) and I might add Tachyons as an option there
Tachyons is feature complete for most people's/project's needs. It doesn't need to be updated. Every day we all use code that was last updated 10+ years ago without realising it.
Having said that we switched to Tailwind for a very specific reason: customisability. see: https://github.com/dwyl/learn-tailwind#what-about-tachyons
Still Tachyons is a perfectly valid and lightweight utility class based CSS library.
