Have been groggily writing up the deep reasons why CSS-in-JS (the sort with a "runtime") is unfixably slow led me to reflect on the warnings I gave the various over-Reactors who popularised this anti-pattern. Apparently at some point last night I wrote:
"Evangelical hubris laced with virulent incuriosity has been the calling card of the entire enterprise."
I don't think I'm going to remove it from the post.
