    Functions in CSS?!

    CSS functions are being prototyped in Chrome Canary, providing new capabilities like arguments, default values, and returns. These functions allow reusable patterns with parameterized custom properties, making CSS more powerful and flexible. While still in early stages, functions can handle type-checking and lists, though early returns and some other functionalities are currently limited. The introduction of functions will significantly enhance the way CSS is written, although more improvements and broader support are needed.
