I prefer SQL, because you can pronounce it “sequel” or “es-cue-ell”, and it’s fine. CSS just doesn’t have that kind of flexibility as a language.
CSS also pisses me off because it clearly doesn’t cascade… to contrast SQL is a language, it is used for querying… and it’s structured horribly. Please for the love of God let me

Oh. Now I want one of these for every pairing. Vim vs Windows. Bubble Sort vs. SODIMM. The beauty is, with LLMs, I can have it! Enter two of any computer terms, and ChatGPT spits out a comparison. And why stop with computer stuff? Eukayryotic vs Republican! The War of 1812 vs The Kessel Run!
Filing cabinets or oil paints? Which is better?
This is a pretty roundabout way of saying back-end vs front-end.
CREATE TABLE display ( id INT PRIMARY KEY, display_property TEXT ); INSERT INTO display (id, display_property) VALUES (1, 'block'), (2, 'inline-block'), (3, 'flex'); CREATE TABLE divs ( id INT PRIMARY KEY, inner_html TEXT, display INT REFERENCES display(id) ); INSERT INTO divs (id, inner_html , display) VALUES (1, 'div1', 1), (2, 'div2', 2), (3, 'div3', 3);.users { id: int !primary-key; name: text; } .users::insert { id: 1; name: "John doe"; } @query (max: 10) { .user { display: table; } .users id { display: none; } }Thanks, I hate it.
They both feel so wrong, I love it.
