Couple of things I found amusing:
First, the article says "The 2016 Top Programming Languages" (emphasis mine), and yet HTML is on the list -- which is not a programming language, but a markup language.
Second, if you decide to ignore this, and see how HTML ranks, and turn off everything but the "Web" types, HTML ranks #8 (behind Java, Python, C#, PHP, JavaScript, Ruby, and Go).
OK, I know, I'm easily amused :-D

- nocman 10y agoI agree with many of the comments on that video. By that line of reasoning almost any kind of formatted data could be considered a "programming language". I'm not buying it. I think there is a valuable distinction between a programming language and a markup language. HTML is not a programming language, it's a markup language (hence the last two letters of its name).
