That meme format is used for questions where the assumed answer is "no"
Hey now, CSS has variables, scopes, conditionals and calc()! The only thing I can't find is goto.
CSS isn't a programming language. Programming languages are logical, follow sensible rules and provide consistent output.
Got it, JS is not a programming language then!
malbolge is a programming language
Object.is(NaN, NaN); // -> true
NaN === NaN; // -> false
Object.is(-0, 0); // -> false
-0 === 0; // -> true
Object.is(NaN, 0 / 0); // -> true
NaN === 0 / 0; // -> false
!![] // -> true
[] == true // -> false
!!null; // -> false
null == false; // -> false
0 == false; // -> true
"" == false; // -> true
If it doesn't have goto, it's not a real language
The only thing I canβt find is goto.
There you are then.
worst css programmer you've ever heard of so far
*But you admit CSS is programming!
Why didn't I think of this one ::before!
html and css are art forms, not programming. I have a lot respect for people that can use them and stay sane. Or, at least I would have respect if I ever met a sane one.
...I'm sane!
I saw those websites with games made only with html+CSS and am really, really motivated to learn webdev now.
Do so! It's fun. You can do things like trying to write a long text into a narrow box without it overflowing!
Oooo can you post a link?
Soulslike CSS game: https://csshell.com/
It's not an actual "CSS game" but instead drives the most competent CSS person over the edge.
Search for "social democracy" for example
Spent yesterday programming a Word document
When you could have spent it programming an Open Document Writer document instead? For shame!
real ones use netscape composer

CSS isn't a programming language it's a bunch of parameters in a markup language.
Godspeed! I can't even handle Tailwind yet since I'm so used to MaterialUI's stupid styling system. Gotta break out of those proprietary systems and rawdog CSS one day, but today is not that day yet...
But MaterialUI is pretty :c
It's beautiful and very handy, if you use it exactly like they want you to! Getting it to play nice with custom components is so fiddly though ;_;
I've heard that Svelte is the antithesis of Tailwind. No idea how true that is because I haven't even gotten there yet.
