Description
GSS is a 3D language for people who already speak CSS. Declare shapes in a @scene, style them with selectors, the cascade, custom properties, and @keyframes, and the compiler turns it all into a single raymarching shader (GLSL for WebGL2, WGSL for WebGPU). No Three.js, no meshes, no UVs. Drop a tag on any page, or try it live in the playground. Open source, Apache 2.0.

Could you build this?
No Writing a custom language compiler that parses CSS-like syntax, resolves the cascade, and compiles arbitrary geometric descriptions into a single unified raymarching GLSL/WGSL distance field shader requires deep compiler design and computer graphics mathematics.
What it would actually take: This requires designing a dedicated AST and compiler pipeline (likely in Rust or TypeScript) that parses CSS-like syntax and compiles it into signed distance function (SDF) mathematics, optimizing CSG (constructive solid geometry) trees, and generating mathematically sound GLSL/WGSL raymarching loops. It demands specialized expertise in compiler construction, 3D shader math, and real-time graphics optimization without relying on polygonal meshes.
