Facebook Open Sources StyleX

  CSS in JS was such a dumb mistake. This really shouldn’t be a serious consideration in 2023.

    Unfortunatelly this is the state of software these days - half-baked libraries + incremental improvements. This doesn't work in most cases. I wouldn't call it mistake though, open sourcing anything is a good thing. The right solution is a library like this with proper cross-platform abstraction. Then you can simply compile css-in-js to stylesheets to have caching, therefore fully utilizing platforms capabilities. Who cares whether css is written in css files or js files or whatever. Abstraction + solid tooling (compilation) + ide support is the way.

  JSX is so good because it's an effective language extension, but CSS-in-JS still feels like a dirty mess, everything just becomes strings in objects, it just takes the elegance of the CSS syntax and throws it out the window. Like, look at this: const styles = stylex.create({ base: { width: { default: 800, '@media (max-width: 800px)': '100%', }, }, }); Hmmmm
