Programming is all about logic. Unless you’re programing with VBA.

    Or xml. There's not much logic nor programming there either

    @RememberMe :) Good one. Although using this to claim that XML is a programming language is the same as claiming English poetry is programming language as well : https://wikiwand.com/en/... . Or that a client requesting a fewature is talking to you in programming language: https://docs.cucumber.io/gherkin/...

    a program code is a structure. If you like - jam it into xml, like this guy. Squeeze it into JSON. YAML. HTML (hush, I know. I'm mentioning it just for the sake of buzzword). Or be a sane person and use a syntax that's close to both: machine code and English. Like most useful programming languages do.

    @netikras well yeah
    I would say it's perfectly reasonable that those are programming languages given a suitable execution machine and the ability to follow certain axioms.

    Not all languages have to actually be useful 🤷‍♂️ I would say these are just fun ways to look at things :)

    It's actually kinda hilarious if you make an xml-machine that accepts xml in lisp-like fashion and then use it to build something like a http server.

    @RememberMe I'd say it'd be a perfect waste of time 😁
