In March, Heydon posted an inflammatory tweet, as he often does. :-) If you don't think CSS is a programming language, you have a parochial view of programming and, I'm willing to bet, a parochial view on most other things - gender and ethnicity included.

Or does moving CSS into a realm with a traditionally higher barrier to entry end up an exercise in exclusion? Heydon and I discuss this. For an hour.
