Why there are no languages that translate to CSS?


The way Dart and TS are trying to fix JS problems. That language wouldn't just add some features to CSS, it should introduce something completely different but better, since everyone hates CSS.

It's quite the stretch I know, but for me, on a practical level the answer to getting something better than CSS was Tailwind.

In the biggest project I currently manage, the custom CSS I wrote boils down to maybe 150 lines total of: custom fonts, some ::before/::after styles and styled tags inside a markdown section using @apply. Everything else is just classes in components.

I'm an iOS Engineer so maybe I'm wrong, but doesn't SASS already do that?
