CSS is utter crap. In the history of computers, one programmed in a single language at a time. You had punch cards, then a text file in a terminal, then a text file in a PC written in a language like FORTRAN, COBOL, PL/1, Java, etc. And it was fine. Then they invent a bizarre 3 language sandwich where you switch back and forth between 3 completely incompatible languages (CSS, HTML, JS), which don't even agree on how comments are entered. It is one of the worst designed languages ever, surpassing the previous abomination RPG. I can't wait to deep six the whole HTML stack, as it is a huge time waster. We need a single, well-designed language that can all the general purpose coding we need (and generate websites). Maybe the output will be JS because that is what browsers support today, but seriously let's not put lipstick on a pig and call it pretty. That CSS can draw but not compute, and JS can compute but not draw, and HTML can't do IF, what kind of nutty design is this? Chaotic rapid growth was the cause, but the cure is to dump it entirely.
