True, you can technically compute anything in CSS with enough hacks—but if your boss asks you to implement a sorting algorithm in CSS, it’s probably time to question their sanity. So I acknowledge the “well akchually”, but still stand by my previous point😅

You could make that argument for interpreted languages, I guess. But still I would say there is a difference between those languages and HTML. HTML just describes the layout of a website and CSS describes how this layout should be presented exactly. What I consider a programming language (and output a “computer program”) can do stuff like perform calculations, follow some control flow (e.g. conditions, loops, etc) and can handle user input/create output dynamically.

Anyway, I’m just here to argue against people making my ad blocker illegal 🥴

Maybe it doesn’t matter legally speaking, but as a software engineer I would object when someone says HTML/CSS is a computer program. It just is some specially formatted text that is interpreted by browsers (which are the actual programs here).

Not occasion, but for “necessary” I like “Never Eat Cake, Eat Sweet Salad And Remain Young”

As many as I want, which happens to be zero.
