CSS is very cool, you can fairly advanced things with it. Preprocessors improve writing by a lot.
As a scripting language CSS is the one all devs use, without concurrence. It's very well done and organized. I very love it.
But I have to add that CSS is not a programming language 🙃

PS - Can you please send me your Twitter profile link?

Thanks for the comment. I agree that CSS is cool, but I think it is ignored sometimes.

Outside of software, program and script mean very similar things; both usually describe an order of steps or actions that will be taken one after another, which doesn't apply to CSS.

Any reasoning to consider CSS a scripting language could be used as well to consider it a programming language.
