In hindsight it was inevitable. Type-safe functional programming is coming to CSS.

This means cascading property definitions will no longer just be bound by plain rules, cascade `@layer`s and `@media` queries, but any arbitrary composable hierarchical structure you wish.

tbh, this feels like a natural evolution, but do you think this lead to something like 'pure CSS functions' where the output only depends on the inputs, regardless of cascade context?. Because all I can think about is how it affects the cascading nature of css

Yes! I could definitely see people using this to come up with new “methodologies” much like BEM, OOCSS or Tailwind that came before. In this case, restricting `@function` usage to only pure functions could allow you to avoid cascade overrides.

Makes perfect sense! 
Really looking forward to what the future holds!
