> Technically html + css + user interaction can be turing complete: https://github.com/brandondong/css-turing-machine

Turing completeness is about what computations can be expressed, not what user interactions can be performed. The lambda calculus is Turing complete, but, if I whip up a lambda calculus interpreter and don't give it a print statement, then you'll never know anything about the computations it's performing.

Allow css in there and you get this

Seems like regex is not turing complete, bit its not a programming langauge ether. I thought i remembered that it was, i listed as one of the joke langauges as i know someome showed that PowerPoint is turing complete, but i think i mixed up regex and CSS here(that again is not a programming langauge but is in fact turing complete: https://github.com/brandondong/css-turing-machine)

It is definetly a borderline case (because of the need for clicking) , but html + css combined can be used to simulate the rule 110 automaton. Therefore it is possible to simulate a turing machine which means that it is in fact turing complete.

I understand CSS and I've done a fair bit of webdesign myself. CSS has evolved to the point where it can be used abusively. Hell some consider it turing complete (https://github.com/brandondong/css-turing-machine). From ads, to fingerprinting, to exploits there are valid reasons for wanting a little less functionality while still allowing for some basic styling. I mean, it's cool that there are computer games written in pure CSS and other neat tricks, but sometimes you just want a browser to behave itself even in hostile spaces. If that makes my locked down browser a "horse drawn cart" I'm happy to trot forward.

Yeah, someone even made a basic Turing machine to demonstrate it. As u/sext-scientist said, you have to click a button to perform each operation, but technically this means that you could write any program using HTML+CSS. Though the user might need an autoclicker to run even a "Hello World" program.

Tampio might be useful here.

https://github.com/fergusq/tampio Code in this language reads as Finnish. Finnish words are usually in some other grammatical case than nominative.

One of the things I like about Go is that you can have Unicode identifiers. My professional code is all in English, but if I write stuff just for funsies I tend to use Finnish so it's nice to be able to have ä and ö in types / variable names. Pretty far from having localized keywords but much better than most languages I'm familiar with. There's an esoteric (ie. joke) language that actually uses Finnish inflections which I found hilarious https://github.com/fergusq/tampio; identifiers have to be in the correct noun case for example.
