     @whitequark it's too bad you can't have HTML+CSS as an LLVM target.

     @resistor @JamesWidman yeah basically same, I've been using sass/scss for years so I've had nested selectors; my problem is almost exclusively the layout / box positioning model which I find incomprehensible even with flexbox

     @whitequark I would rather write a webpage layout in Z80 than have to learn CSS.

     @resistor @whitequark someone posted about this recently, and it looks like CSS might be significantly less painful these days...?
