After years of developer frustration and questions on online forums, it’s finally happening: CSS is getting an if() function to apply styling when a condition is met. For the first time, developers can make logical decisions directly in stylesheets, without separate code blocks. This opens up whole new possibilities for web designers.

@container and @scope were pretty big in my opinion.
