Tailwind (CSS) doesn't need a javascript runtime, the browser can run it natively

Tailwind is literally someone else’s PostCSS output.

No, it's your own PostCSS output. At least if you want to only have the definitions you actually use.

OK I mean “someone else wrote the mixins” you mean “you ran the compiler and did tree shaking”.

You can write CSS-in-JS style without a runtime https://vanilla-extract.style/

In my opinion, this gives you all of the supposed benefits of Tailwind without all of the noise and annoying opinions that come with Tailwind

Their Sprinkles API is beautiful for keeping a design system and code in sync, so much that Tailwind users had to copy it with the CVA library.
