Rusty Cascading Style Sheets (RCSS)
Tip Download the VSCode extension for syntax highlighting!
Rusty Cascading Style Sheets (RCSS) is a styling language that brings Rust-inspired syntax to CSS. It combines the robustness of Rust with SASS-like features such as nesting and variables for cleaner, more maintainable styles.
let variable: "#FFFFFF"; let breakpoint: "768px"; fn padding() { padding: 20px; } .container { padding(); h2 { color: blue; } } h4 { width: 50%; color: green; } /* MOBILE STYLES */ @media screen and (max-width: &breakpoint) { .container { width: 100%; } h4 { width: 100%; } }
Note The above RCSS code compiles to CSS in around 572.40µs!
