I’m just curious why you want to create a type of programming language that does the things it is supposed not to do, such as replacing JavaScript with Python on the front end or running an ML project in a browser with pure JavaScript...



To be fair, the project sounds completely pointless.

Why is why I absolutely love it.

It's the true hacker's spirit - about testing the frontiers of what's possible. Note what was said as well:

> This is really just a bit of fun and a way to write CSS in Go. I wanted to see if it was possible and it is with ease.

And I thought this was aspirational as well:

> CSS written in Pure Go. No JS builders, no preprocessors, no linters, no frameworks, no classes, no variables, no overrides, no plugins, no dependencies, no javascript, no templates, no bs, no nothing. Just Go.

Rust people are all about "let's rewrite it in Rust". I don't see why Gophers can't have their fun as well.
