Really? #CSS does all that all by itself? No reliance on any other language or software or technology at all? Standalone sites and apps all from "pure" CSS? Stas! I see the humor in your point but c'mon! /me holds up sign saying just because we can...

Okay. We can style with CSS. We can draw with CSS. We can animate with CSS. We can create modals with CSS. What's next? CSS for backend? CSS for AI? CSS for rocket software?

Yes, you can do all of that just with CSS. Of course HTML required. But that's all u need. If you understand the humor of CSS for other staff, what was the purpose of this tweet?

CSS, HTML both require interpretation. That's not all you need. Browsers, OSs, TCP/IP, https, #a11y complete. UX/UI. The point? CSS is misused, misunderstood and is so abstracted it has lost a lot of declarative language. CSS != dynamic tech to me. Education is not consistent.

Also: CSS can and has historically often been generated from the backend. W3C at MIT is in fact in the STATA center. Dept.? AI. If you want to style a rocket, submit a new @media query. Github awaits! Or, just use JS frameworks, 10,000 !important declarations and inline CSS.
