I'm coining it now, Guenther's law, corollary to Atwood's law:

Anything that can be implemented in CSS, shouldn't be.



I really hope that's sarcasm. Otherwise we will have people ripping out CSS, like how some people don't optimize because premature optimization is evil. I also don't want to go back to font tags.


Did we even read the same post?

I'm joking that people shouldn't write Turing complete code in CSS. Add style properties for days, more power to you, but if someone posts an implementation of Git in CSS next week I will promptly jump off a bridge, laughing all the way down.


Your phrasing of the proposed law isn't quite right. According to it, red text should not be implemented in CSS since it can be implemented in CSS.


Bingo!
