Can we apply the lessons of CSS to JavaScript?
While working on StyleX we use compilation and the technique Atomic CSS to create a more efficient system. Having small atomic CSS rules maximizes re-usability and dramatically reduces the size of the CSS at scale. A powerful compiler, makes the process automatic and frees from having to think custom DSLs.
Can we do the same for JavaScript? What would the trade-offs be? Can it result in unique benefits not possible with most other approaches?
