No, one is a restricted subset of the other, and that means you can better reason about a less expressive language. This is basically what you would have with a non-Turing complete language vs Turing complete one.


Subsets and DSLs can often be worse than the language they're supposed to replace, and moreover, you need to learn a new proprietary language on top of that. There is no need for me to write Tailwind classes when I can just write their equivalent properties in CSS instead.
