The only reason !important was added was to troll javascript programmers, who read it as "not important".
- pistoriusp 5y agoisn't ! a fairly common negating symbol in programming languages?
- omnicognate 5y agoYes, it's by far the most common use of "!" in programming (though newer languages are increasingly using it for various flavours of null/nothing checking too). Javascript just seems particularly relevant here.
- LeifCarrotson 5y agoC programmers, and those who write in languages derrived from/inspired by C.
- adzm 5y agoShould have been !!important instead.
