Agreed. I think he's completely misidentified why CSS-in-JS became a thing.

I've done a lot of thinking about this - like "How would we adopt what we have done in frameworks into web standards"? And the closest I have come up with is Svelte.

In Svelte your file is a component. It can have a <script> tag which defines state that can be passed to it or any other arbitrary javascript. You can have a <style> tag which scopes specifically to that component. And the rest is just regular HTML markup with the ability to do light interpolation for dynamic values.

That's how it should be, in my opinion. That's what we should be moving towards as an industry. I think CSS-in-JS was a side effect of JSX being in JavaScript. Hopefully we are moving away from that trend now.

I cannot agree with this comment any more. Every time I read any one of these Tailwind threads, I am yelling in my head "SVELTE!!!!" the whole time. Going against the current of the platform is a recipe for disaster every time, and Svelte is one of the few frameworks that is actually trying to go _with_ the current.
