I'll be honest: I still use commas. Even worse, I still use hsla when necessary. Even worse, I still use rgba. Even worse, I still use hex colors...

I use spaces and a slash if opacity is required. Example; hsl(10 50% 25% / 0.4)

I do not use hsl because I'm not an animal. (Yes. This is rage bait)

I had no idea I could use spaces! So much simpler than worrying about commas and symbols, thanks Kevin!

I don't remember which I would use. I would prefer using oklch, but I don't remember its css syntax either :D Mostly copy-paste the hex codes from figma into scss variables

I use commas and units. Having some background in programming, it is deeply encoded to separate and be precise about function inputs. The shorter syntax may be correct, but it just feels wrong.

Most often with units, no commas, as it allows for setting an alpha value more easily without renaming the function to hsla

This prompted me to go have a look at the documentation. Wow, lotsa stuff I have never used. Learned what a 'gradian' is. I like the 'turn' for hue angle, easy to think about complements and triads and stuff, plus it's my nickname. 🙂

Commas because I'm not letting lazy habits control my syntax. Space is not a good delimiter. Only case otherwise is when I need to copy and paste something that works but didn't know better. Always add units, explicit is notably better than implicit. CSS and programming languages aren't random papers written for school, it's a language that involves collaboration and learning.

I use unit, especially the deg for the hue, so it’s easy to see at a glance which is the hue. And no commas because I like to think I’m cutting edge 😅

I've always preferred the so-called "legacy syntax" with commas.. however, maybe the "modern syntax" is actually easier to work with, since you don't need to change `hsl` to `hsla` if you also want to define the "alpha" value. 🤔 hmmm... interesting thought

to be honest all i ever did with rgbas color is guess work but with hsl at least it is a bit more understandable and yes i use spaces as it makes it faster for me to not just write but also easy to use alpha when i need it

There are so many ways of writing the same thing, that I usually write it wrong, then I have to check the documentation, and then I fix my mistake. It's like trying to plug any USB cable that is no the C-type.

If you are going to write an HSL value in CSS, do you use commas, or spaces? Also, please comment on whether you use units or not... you could do `hsl(10deg, 25%, 50%) or `hsl(10 25 50)` for example... Or do you include percentages, but not degrees?
