    New CSS-in-JS library inspired by the DX offered by Chakra UI, and compatible with React Server Components. The library is based on a unique hybride method that combines the best of zero-runtime CSS-in-JS and traditional runtime solutions. We'll have to study all this, and see how this library stands up to Panda CSS from the Chakra team.
