When talking about CSS-in-JS I am reminded of the short lived escapade at Netscape around 1997/1998 when they launched JSSS, only be be shut out by Microsoft ignoring support for it in the increasingly dominant Internet Explorer as they favored CSS. As a result it died and disappeared.

I remember JSSS, but a more vivid memory for me is LiveConnect: another Netscape-only project that was incredibly powerful and groundbreaking: it allowed Java and JavaScript code to communicate directly, e.g. plain JS could invoke the JDK and instantiate Java objects. In retrospect, also a truly terrible idea, but at the time, it was amazing.
