Idle question, is CSS/HTML turing complete? If so I look forward to a Show HN of a CSS/HTML emulator of JSMESS emulating a 386 running Windows 98.
Neither CSS nor HTML is turing complete.
The combination of CSS and HTML together is not quite turing complete either.
The combination of CSS and HTML plus an external source that repeated clicks the mouse is turing complete.
I could be remembering this wrong, however.

There are several edge cases where a sort of simile of NOT is possible though. You can branch from truthy/falsey into falsy/truthy numbers. And if is something is falsey you can "else" into another action.
Just can't "else" from a truthy state without the ...anti-vein... always being present.
Very cool. CSS can do some amazing stuff these days. I made a game using moving checkboxes recently - https://codepen.io/onion2k/pen/qBbKYee - with a timer and scoring. It's a fun challenge to avoid JS.
I saw that a few days before I started making this actually! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23867569
This is very slow in my browser, which I don't mean as a criticism. Just refreshing to see something be slow that uses no JS at all :D

It is rather ironic that the chief complaints about JS are how it makes things bloated and unresponsive, yet this is 100x the size of http://www.play-minesweeper.com and the time to interactivity is recognizable by comparison. The HN community is a funny one, sometimes.
It's like seeing that fun tech demo that implements Brainfuck in Rust's type system and going "heh, and they said compiled languages were fast? I can do this faster in PHP!"
