@ZenPsycho I'm playing with the word constraint here. And playing devil's advocate. Was I really too subtle? It'd be a first! ;)
So you want a full-out single-language just for UI @ZenPsycho? That sounds like building a browser into a browser to me.
@guioconnor @smitchio definitely my preference (server-side libs) at this time.
The point is to NOT have constraints, or to have them in a way that authors can control across myriad devices @ZenPsycho.
I see your point @ZenPsycho. But that's not Web design IMO. It doesn't adapt across devices in the way you've described it.
I don't want to rely on JavaScript for my CSS either, @smitchio! Hence my mixed feelings.

I think the core issue is in fact wanting variables in CSS. It's the 2nd most commonly asked question I get. The first is "where's the loo?"

But don't those constraints limit interoperability and effective multi-model design, @ZenPsycho? A use case would help me understand better.
Interesting, @ZenPsycho, especially considering we are evolving CSS layouts and some of what's going on is very cool ie. Regions/Exclusions

I'm having mixed feelings right now about LESSCSS. What are your thoughts about it? Check it out and let me know: lesscss.org/

@siggiarni If I wing it, can I do it in First Class all the time? If so, I'm all for winging it ;)
@Sushubh I was in particular referring to the "don't trust the platform" commentary which is, to be honest, a very fair point.
Interesting. Read the comments "Twitter Releases Bootstrap, A Set Of Tools To Build Web Apps Using CSS via @techcrunch" techcrunch.com/2011/08/19/tw…

@webinista That means good fortune! Don't kill it. Ah yes, my superstitious Eastern European background is showing. :D
@wnas Do I get to pick which one? Or are you just going to foist the most difficult onto Auntie Mols over here ;)

@hirsch_c I'm a night bird too. My mother says the reason I cried so much at bedtime as a kid was because I wanted to stay up and party ;)
@DaveSambali Adding motivation to priority is where I fail. A good example is invoicing. Priority high, motivation low. I hate paperwork.

@hirsch_c And not sure about you, but I actually love working late nights/early a.m. Hence why I'm up and chatty. I've already been to bed.
@hirsch_c Honestly, a PA would be great. But I'd have to manage time to train that person to manage my time. A bit of a conundrum!
