CSS is amazing. It's hilarious to watch the twisted ways people will work around it, or spend time making libraries to find solutions to problems that don't exist; without ever even trying to get comfortable with it. Its an amazing and simple piece of technology. Kind of a shame. Id love a real history and critical discussion on the "tools" we have now for web dev.


I'd rather it be a programming language, which Netscape tried to do with Javascript Style Sheets in the late 90s. Was way more flexible, but was never accepted as a standard and of course, was not supported by IE.


and yet millions of people have expressed themselves, published information, shared it, and benefitted. so... it works.

the corruption of the net is proportional to the corruption of the tools. a shame really.
