What's the current alternative to this ?

"...the spec is yet considered deprecated and alternative solutions are being discussed." What's the current working alternative ? I see ideas, but nothing functional. So, I think it's a bit weird to have something deprecated without an alternative.

It's a bit like you'd deprecate fossil energy instantly, then spend the rest of the year without proper electricity until there's an working alternative.

I've asked the questions on CSSnext, @jonathantneal, postcss-preset-env, etc, no answers... Maybe @pascalduez you could clarify the issue here, I'd really appreciate it.

Kindest regards !

Also, I do know that this isn't your fault at all. I'm just asking if you know any alternatives, since you worked on this one !

[jonathantneal]

There are no proposals by any W3 members for this functionality that I know of. They have directed their efforts to the Shadow DOM as a way of scoping CSS.

The closest functionality that obeys the general laws of CSS would be postcss-extend-rule. You can also try its interactive demo.

@coldtelling, also, I’m very sorry if I did not answer your question in another thread. It wasn’t my intention to ignore you. I hope this answer gives you some clarity, even though it may not be the answer you (or any of us) are thrilled with.

Hey @jonathantneal Thanks for the quick reply, I really appreciate the time and resources you put in those tools. This clear things up for me.

Maybe also postcss-mixins replicates the kind of Sass like fonctionnality most users are seeking for.
