I believe the following specs were developed to address some of the same problems CCSS tries to solve:\r\n\r\n   * [CSS Grid Layout](http://www.w3.org/TR/css-grid-1/)\r\n   * [CSS Flexible Box Layout](http://www.w3.org/TR/css-flexbox-1/)\r\n   * [CSS Box Align](http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-align/)\r\n\r\nBut they obviously lack a lot of features that CCSS enables due to cyclic references.\r\n\r\nCan someone elaborate a little bit more or point me to references of these discussions that are close to how W3C is handling this topic?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/gss/engine/issues/comments/110108253","html_url":"https://github.com/gss/engine/issues/192#issuecomment-110108253","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/gss/engine/issues/192","id":110108253,"user":{"login":"Inviz","id":2708,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2708?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Inviz","html_url":"https://github.com/Inviz","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Inviz/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Inviz/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Inviz/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Inviz/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Inviz/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Inviz/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Inviz/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Inviz/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Inviz/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-06-08T19:01:03Z","updated_at":"2015-06-08T19:01:03Z","body":"I think GSS would be a good language to base standards on, as it's pretty well contained and we've worked hard to make solving process determenistic and (relatively) easy to reason about. But it takes a lot of work to write a proper spec, and there's no incentive from the browser dept. \r\n\r\nIn our projects, we take a way of giving up dynamicity for the sake of portability (by exporting pages to css). But it's obviously not suitable for regular websites."}}
