Functions and Mixins Proposal in CSS

The proposal for adding functions and mixins to CSS aims to bring similar capabilities to what CSS preprocessors offer, leading to new innovative ideas in CSS. While CSS custom properties and variables have been widely used, functions and mixins fill the gap for more dynamic, less code-intensive solutions. Functions allow for single value calculations, while mixins group CSS properties for specific selectors, including advanced features like media queries and container queries.
