Cascading Layers of !mportance

The Cascade is the underlying algorithm that drives our entire language, and the main target of frustration when our styles go bad. But why is it there, how is it changing, and why should we care?

Along the way we’ll need to rethink our CSS conventions, the purpose of !important, and how we build or use third-party libraries. And we’ll take a look at what else is coming over the next few years with @scope and proximity.
