Hi I think its great that you try new ideas in this area. Don't listen to those who didn't event try to create better tools, but rather just crying around that all the "css in js" solutions are bad, ignoring the fact that the current traditional CSS is bad for lots of cases too. I am biased because I am author if jss https://github.com/jsstyles/jss What I understood from descartes is that you are trying to make styles dynamic by allowing listeners. So that when user interaction happens, styles can change accordingly, while the logic for it is contained in the style itself. I had the same idea in jss too and ended up with this api for dynamic styles: https://github.com/jsstyles/jss/blob/master/docs/js-api.md#s... I am still looking for a way how to make this idea more usable.
