We all are, so thank you for this horrible proposed-but-not-yet-implemented change!
Jokes aside, you can participate in the discussion yourself here: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/10520 https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/10520
But be warned, you will probably not be able to convince people with just "Please, just no!".

Yeah, that makes sense, it's a markup language, not a programming language. The targeted audience for HTML and CSS is way bigger than just programmers. For the people who want to build imperative UIs or even "immediate mode" GUIs there are a ton of options out there already.
I get the sense that people complaining about HTML/CSS not being like a programming language enough are programmers, not document authors.
