CSS doesn’t require javascript, and allows for nearly all the features of a SPA.

Like plotting an equation to canvas? Editing video? Handling drag and drop events?

I've seen that blog post where a guy demonstrated that many UI elements can be done with CSS, I like that. I try to do that myself as much as I can, but let's not pretend that CSS is a programming language and it can replace ANY JavaScript.

It is debatable that CSS is or isn’t Turing complete, but as long as the task isn’t totally automated without user input, CSS could replace most Javascript.
