Is ddoc intended to generate css? Do people who have experience
with css have experience doing this with ddoc? Will experience in
using ddoc for css generation help someone in projects other than
D? Does the experience help someone getting a job in the industry?
I'm pretty sure the answer to all of these answers is "no", so
why is this even being considered? And how does using ddoc for
css generation even qualify as dogfooding? If D owned a scissors
factory, would you use those instead of knives when you eat your
dinner and call it "dogfooding"?
