You can implement an adder in CSS? Somehow this reminds me of C++ templates. These things seem to gain power and have new features until they become turing-complete. And beyond...

Languages of the future will be compiled to CSS in the same way that languages of the present are compiled to Javascript.

I get shivers just thinking about all the fun I can have breaking web semantics this way.

CSS is already turing complete: - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2497146/is-css-turing-com...

This project doesn't use rule 110, it uses LESS which sorts out the logic while compiling and spits out the results in css.
