What is Hugo css.Build?

Hugo's built-in CSS processor using esbuild for bundling, minification, transpiling modern features like nesting.

Does Hugo css.Build support CSS nesting?

Yes, via esbuild, but test for edge cases and older browsers — may need prefixes or fallbacks.

Blazing during dev; production solid. Beats Sass+PostCSS chains, but verify your features.

Hugo's css.Build sounds like a dream for ditching CSS drudgery. Spoiler: it's speedy, but don't burn your Sass files yet.
