Vinnl on Dec 17, 2022 | parent | context | favorite | on: Help choose the syntax for CSS Nesting

It's not the & that's the problem, it's the selectors that start with a regular letter or dash (i.e. `a` in my example above).

The point is that if & cannot consistently serve as a marker, then it shouldn't be one. Just add a different piece of syntax that always starts a nested rule and clearly disambiguates it and retain & solely to designate the parent.
