I guess thats wrong. I guess one can't argue and say its not a programming
language. But its more of a descriptive language than a functional
language. There are no storage(or limited) capabilities and no operational
precedence except the fixed recurisive child selectors syntax. So while it
might be a computer programming language its a very limited one.
While technically you could call yourself a programmer if you know css I
would imagine most "real" programmers would laugh at you.
