🤔 CSS has always felt closer to Lisp or Haskell than Python or a non-functional language. Just me or has anyone else had these thoughts?

@webology Definitely a declarative feel to it. Expression support is only growing that lisp-ness

@webology I’m glad CSS isn’t procedural. HTML doesn’t feel procedural. Of course, I liked XSLT so you can disregard my opinion, I’m obviously a monster.

My basketball team is peaking as March arrives so all is good in the world.

@pauleveritt I'm going to summarize that yes to my question.

I liked XSLT too and had a pretty interesting SQL (models) -> XML then I used XSLT to build pages quickly. I fought 500 errors because I could never fully escape model content in a way that didn't have a >1000 edge cases. My idea was to generate XSLT from PHP too and there were a lot of rabbit holes.
