bzq846354yThen answer to the recruiter that "XML is not a programming language" and his Highness Recruiter will reject you from the rest of the process due to not meeting recruitments.

rittmann1054yWell, this could be a trap, say yes and you're eliminated, say no and he will think you cant code with xml, eliminated too 🤣🤓

From a langsec point of view, everything is code...
But i really doubt the presence of that sort of knowledge in the brains of recruiters...
So just skip this one. -
@Oktokolo well XML can represent the AST of any program (afaik there was a gcc plugin to dump gimple as XML) so no reason why you can't actually write a program in it...
So a recruiter called me for the Mobile App Dev position just to asked me wether I am familiar with "CODING IN XML"?
I was like if xml is consider a programming language, json will be too.
