@tabatkins I know this is an old conversation, but just FWIW: > They did not, precisely because this is a huge problem. Sass uses some heuristics to guess what subset of the possible selectors to actually emit. I presume other langs do so as well (or just have a combinatorial explosion in their output sometimes). Less essentially clamps the number of combinations you can have. Otherwise it's a terrible problem, and at least in Less threads / documentation, we warn authors that this is one of the dangers of over-nesting lists. Interestingly, I was going to open a suggestion in Less to, at some point, output `:is()` wrappers instead of combining selectors. Although this may not be necessary since it could just pass through nesting. -- GitHub Notification of comment by matthew-dean Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7433#issuecomment-1495250283 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
