CSS is not a programming language. If it was it wouldn't be called Cascading Style Sheets. A programming lets you specify initial state, final state, and the commands in the programming language required to go from initial state to final state. It is a system that enables something akin dividing by zero all over the place as though there is nothing wrong inherently wrong with dividing by zero. The impedance mismatch between how you describe what you want to see and how to express it in the language is so huge it is insane. It is part of the ongoing fraud of pretending that tying Javascript to a document layout languages is a sound way to script the presentation of data. If that was truly the case IBM and Xerox would have invented something close to that combo in the 60s and 70s. So long as Google and Microsoft earn money from their app stores they are never going to introduce a pragmatic for displaying information in the browser. It is over 10 years now since together with Apple they deprecated Flash and Silverlight, yet 10 years later with vastly improved hardware they still can't come up with a meaningful system than the same lame HTML5/CSS/Javascript.
