CSS Selectors as Superpowers

An anonymous reader writes "Simon St. Laurent writes in praise of CSS selectors: 'After years of complaints about Cascading Style Sheets, many stemming from their deliberately declarative nature, it's time to recognize their power. For developers coming from imperative programming styles, it might seem hard to lose the ability to specify more complex logical flow. That loss, though, is discipline leading toward the ability to create vastly more flexible systems, a first step toward the pattern matching model common to functional programming.'"

I always liked PHP, but I'm an infrastructure guy who only uses PHP for relatively minor stuff. Something doesn't need to be perfect to be useful.

Please don't burn me, I don't weigh the same as a duck...
