Ever notice the similarity between Flat Earthers and people who believe HTML is a programming language?

You can present them with all the reason and logic in the world and they won’t change their minds.

Everyone knows you gotta add in the CSS before it becomes a programming language. :^) https://lemire.me/blog/2011/...

i was already thinking of a flat-html, kind of FHTML or something...

but, well, actually someone already did something waaaaay worse!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FHTML

@thatsnotnice Good god who is responsible for such an abomination! Lol I notice the “official site” link just takes you to a squatting page though. You’re telling me HTML-based Flash isn’t going to revolutionize the industry?? 😂

Screw you guy HTML is the only programming language worth knowing. Bloody cowboys.

@HollowKitty It’s worth adding that while being Turing complete does by definition technically make something a programming language, it says nothing for how usable such a language might be in practice (Turing’s machine, for example).

I for one would not want to write a program in an emulated Rule 110 cellular automata in HTML+CSS. 😉

Nevertheless it’s pretty amazing that someone did actually manage to prove that.

"HTML is Declarative Programming" and "Giant Guarded Ice Wall + Dome" do indeed seem very similar, now that I think of it 🤔

@Condor It’s more the refusal to accept science.

The earth is flat because we’re being lied to! NASA is a coverup!

HTML is a programming language because I want it to be!

Sounds pretty similar to me. 😉

@devios1 SCIENCE AND TURING COMPLETENESS ARE BOTH LIES!!! LIES AND DECEIT!!!

Because.. you know.. I don't like science and being told that it's not HTPL but HTML >_<

@devios1You say that now, but wait til you see the sweet OS I'm writing in HTML+CSS! :^) :^)

@HollowKitty 😂😂 Now that I will have to see!

I thought it was a running joke about programmers... are there people who actually think HTML is a programming language?

@jonathannerat You can never quite tell if they’re just trolling or they really believe it.
