Deep dives
CSS as a Programming Language
In this podcast episode, the hosts discuss the debate of whether CSS should be considered a programming language. They explore the argument that, just like JavaScript, CSS is also an abstracted, high-level language that gets turned into machine code. To highlight the irony, they jokingly propose that unless you're writing machine code, you can't call yourself a programmer, regardless of the language you use. They also mention examples of CSS features being developed as passive-aggressive responses to the criticism that CSS is not a programming language.
