Hmmm. I kind of like CSS but I hate the creep-up of complexity.
It's not that I don't understand the rationale - any programming
language offers more power than a non-programming language. But
I'd rather think here that something else could instead replace
all of HTML, CSS and JavaScript, rather than constantly wanting
to make everything more complex. I don't use most of the new
elements in HTML5, largely because I don't see the point in
using specialized tags for micro-describing a webpage. I succumbed
to the "it is a div-HTML tag and it has a unique ID"; that's what
I think mots of those containers actually really are. I even wanted
to have aliases to such IDs, simply to use as navigational href
intralink.
[data-theme="dark"] [data-theme="light"] :focus {
outline-color: black;
}
And I also don't like this. It takes my brain too long
to process all of that. It is no longer elegant and simple.
On the other hand:
h2 {
color: red;
}
That is still simple.
So ancestor(X, Y) :- parent(X, Y). means: “For all possible values of X and Y, X
is an ancestor of Y, if X is a parent of Y.”
See - I already don't want to have to think in such terms. What is the :- anyway, looks like a smiley.
@container style(--theme: dark) {
.card { background: royalblue; color: white; }
}
I stopped there.
I think this is a problem with CSS - too many people are
ruining it. It is strange to see how standards that used
to work, are degraded over time.
