Good news! You can with the Web Animations API.

Just recently I had to code a little but complex animation and I ended up using the web animations API. It's nice, it was a lot less code than the css counterpart.

But, if I* have to write this same animation in two years and @property is widely available, I'll reach up for that first.

*To be honest, it will be 100% an LLM that writes it for me.

Which are CSS animations underneath

[nfw2]

Yes, but you define them with Javascript rather than in CSS which is a key difference since the syntax is more intuitive for some (myself included)

[mattgperry]

No - CSS and JavaScript are two ways of defining the same thing, an animation. Safari runs its accelerated animations with CoreAnimation - is CoreAnimation a CSS animation?

[ARCarr]

Shhh, don't tell him that.
