Listening to @hcatlin give CSS a hard time …somewhat unfairly, in my opinion, like I said here: https://adactio.com/journal/7653

.@adactio @hcatlin good read, great point -> “Every line of CSS you write is a suggestion.”

Reading @adactio’s “Celebrating CSS”: adactio.com/journal/7653 A really good read, and couldn’t agree more. #thewebisforeveryone

@adactio CSS is JS’s alter ego. Similar complains, similar resistance.

If you treat any of those 2 as a language, you treat then wrong.

.@adactio I point out browser shortcomings to push for a better future. Great design should easier for less technically skilled people.

@adactio @hcatlin CSS is a terrible “language”. the simplest things are missing, like nesting or constants.

@adactio @RobertFischer …but doesn’t Sass require a knowledge of CSS (and in turn HTML) in the first place? It’s a layer, not a foundation.
