Little diddy bout Jack and Diane
The real question is since when CSS is good?

Give me one advantage of language that isn't strongly typed
Fluent polymorphism via duck typing. It's useful when you're treating objects as a collection of properties, and therefore it's not their type that matters but which properties they have. Types can still be used to label common collections of properties but it's less painful to talk about objects that are "like an X but with/without certain properties," or where some properties themselves have a different shape, etc. This is applicable to web APIs, not just because of JSON, but because it allows to define both very rigid and very flexible schemas without much overhead or repetition. See the OpenAPI specification.
It's not a debate I care to have, I just think it's funny that people want to build websites but hate how websites are built.
CSS is used to create the design, basically the look (colors, layout and so on), but no substance.
JavaScript is used to implement code and logic.
HTML + JavaScript would typically (since you're supposed to use CSS to create colors and design) look very dull, thus the black-and-white Oppenheimer.
document.querySelector('.whatever').style.color = "red";Don't recommend, though.
Sure, but setting the .style attribute could really be argued as using CSS, just with a different interface. W3Schools refers to this as "inline CSS".
