More proof of computer scientists not wanting to bother with CSS. Guys this is might be the secret to becoming pro. Keep it Simple Stupid (KISS). That's the creator of C++ website btw.

    @zsixtyfour Well... It is rather long, but I can read that in maximum a few days, so...

    As long as it gets the message through, it's good enough.

    I can relate. I have to occasionally touch SASS files and I am very happy when I return to TypeScript.

    Currently I am playing with ScalaCSS, essentially a way of writing (mostly) typed styles in Scala, and I really see the appeal of that kind of approach to styling. It's always shocking to me that compiler/runtime is complaining about typos and illegal overrides which would pass silently and broke looks in classic css.

    Well this guy doesn't need to make himself himself look good. If everyone already knows who you are there is no need to make a fancy website saying how awesome you are.

    I really love websites like this. Easy to read, works on any browser and screen size, gets the message across. And a lot of pros actually have websites like this.
    Eg heres the website of the guy who developed curl https://daniel.haxx.se/

    A framework NEEDS to be simple and stupid. A product needn't be. He's the fuckin creator of C++. Nobody gives a rat's ass about the style of his website. If you're a web / mobile app developer who thinks using CSS would make you look like a pro, I think you'd be wrong. My opinion is KYA (Know Your Audience) before KISSing.
