Someone built an x86 CPU emulator using pure CSS, for science
SMRTR summary
Programmer Lyra Rebane created x86CSS, a project that emulates an Intel 8086 processor using only Cascading Style Sheets. The system can execute actual C programs compiled into machine code through CSS-based logic, using advanced CSS features like if() statements that make the styling language behave like a programming language. While technically impressive, the emulator runs slowly and lacks practical applications, currently only working in Chrome-based browsers due to its reliance on cutting-edge CSS capabilities.
