A Systematic Review of HTML’s Unfitness to Be Considered a Programming Language
- Tomte 6y agoGod, is that article pretentious. The points made can be made — and have been made hundreds of times before — with much less condescension.
- lioeters 6y ago> It is necessary for a system to display the property of being turing complete in order to be defined as a programming language. There are programming languages that are explicitly not Turing complete. I'm not familiar with any of them, but an example is BlooP, where recursion is not permitted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlooP_and_FlooP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlooP_and_FlooP > If you disagree, you can fight me on it. I don't think anyone would argue that HTML is a programming language - so you might be fighting shadows. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markup_language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markup_language However, there are endless variations of template languages based on HTML, that arguably cross over into programming, mixing presentation and logic.
