A Minecraft clone made with pure HTML & CSS – no JavaScript.
A Minecraft clone made with pure HTML & CSS – no JavaScript.
Html is content format and css is a style format.
Them being so overloaded with bad design choices makes them be programming languages instead (even though that’s what JavaScript is supposed to be).
“Do one thing and do it well” is generally the way to go, and web technologies went the exact opposite way
I do not think they are overloaded, I think people are creative and make games with them despite their limitations. HTML and CSS are definitely not programing languages. But if someone is creative they can create a game without programming.
CSS is, if I’m not mistaken, turing complete which makes it a programming language (not by design obviously).
My point is, using only HTML and CSS you shouldn’t be able to have more than a static web page, and the fact that you can do much more is what leads to the internet being so overly slow and bloated.
CSS is not on it’s own Turing complete from what I understand, it needs HTML and user input. So no it is not a programming language.
If Html and CSS would create only a static website, we would be much more limited in web design. That is not necessary a bad thing because yes I agree web pages can be bloated and slow. But I also think it is because of bad web design practices and not CSS fault.
