This sounds interesting, but I’d need to think about it more so I could picture how things fit together as they get more complex and different styles logically overlap. This looks to head in the utility direction possibly too far for that to work nicely. But it may well work better than I’m initially imagining.
Unfortunately I can’t give it more attention now, because I should have gone to sleep a couple of hours ago…

Another approach entirely is to embrace last-declaration-wins, by :where()ing everything:
I’d be interested to know which approach performs better once you have altogether too many elements and altogether too complex selectors. I suspect the :where() would win, but that the difference would be impossible to detect in any sort of realistic load.
Happy to take questions! I built this because I kept hitting the same wall: CSS state resolution is opaque when states overlap, and extending components means mentally re-deriving the whole selector matrix every time.
Some topics I'm curious what people think about:
- What’s the one thing this doesn’t cover that you’d expect it to?
- Does the syntax feel natural to you, or did you find yourself confused by anything?
- I'm looking for edge cases: what kind of complex selector scenario would trip this compiler up or be impossible to express with this model?
AMA—happy to answer any questions about the tool, the implementation, or the design choices.

Probably because you aren't using Sin
