what were your favorite SASS functions (not mixins)? or just other CSS functions you'd expect to be possible by a vanilla CSS function?

The most useful one is rgba(). Unfortunately, it's not possible to pass a HEX color as a property to rgba() in plain CSS. As for SASS, I do not support their approach with breaking compatibility with the previous versions. That's not acceptable.

you've seen the relative color syntax CSS feature? you can pass a hex and get back rgb channels (and alpha) background: rgb(from #abc r g b / 50%); developer.chrome.com/blog/css-rel...

Thank you for the suggestion! It's not perfect, but looks nice. My biggest concern at this point is mostly the browser support, especially on iOS (caniuse.com/css-relative...). Are there any workarounds for old devices? I assume, that they will simply ignore that values.

solutions for older browsers is to do it in SASS instead of the browser indeed, they'll simply ignore what they don't understand

Thank you! By the way, are there any updates regarding using CSS properties in @media queries? Or to create some named queries like --media-desktop: (min-width: 1024px) and then use it like @media (--media-desktop)? I was trying to replace SASS with that a while ago.
