Key Takeaways

[Music] we are in the month of Christmas but that is also the last month of 2017 true so we're thinking towards 2018 in the things and going to be landing in browsers or things we'll be thinking about in that year so I want you to spend like the next two minutes introducing a subject you can quiz me about it and we'll see if we can come up with something that we can actually publish on YouTube right here we go two minutes I want to talk about weightless CSS weightless that is one of the words I said the other one is CSS so CSS with a weight yes that is a good reversal and what is some weight okay so when you write a CSS selector it has specificity that is correct yes which if I I could call weight if I didn't want to risk trying to pronounce asbestos it means specifically less CSS is exactly can you see now why I went for weightless CSS yes so this is a proposal that was agreed on in TPAC mm-hmm and 2017 in 2017 and livery was telling me about it and and the idea is they haven't settled on a name yet but it would be something like is in the same way that like like : is and then a function yes exactly that and inside you could put like a simple selector Oh like dot foo so that would make a selector make match without increasing its specificity exactly that so you be able to use all of the stuff that you can use outside is or whatever it's called but it would have like yeah why are your specificity because this is this is the CSS working groups attempt to meet people halfway that don't enjoy the Cascade so much oh I see so one of the things that you know the complaints are the one of the reasons they've seen people go to CSS and JavaScript is that this new hole just attach it to the element directly exactly I send their models a lot simpler so it's can they bring that to regular style sheets as an option where just things will be done sequentially can I use child selectors in the is thing I don't think so because that was one of the long-standing things that people wanted to or that they if you contain a thing of that type then style me the other way around or something no it would just be simple selectors but no specificity this the out-of-time editor it's the template proposal from apples Oh Apple template proposal the Appleton doesn't hold so what like what they proposed
