Don't forget CSS.

I think his dream of equality and freedom is more important than a meme directed at people who honestly aren't actual software developers if they believe some bs like that (html? Language? really?)

@jhh2450 haha! Yeah!

@DucksCanCode there are many people like that!

XML too

@elonmusk @qbasic16 where did I put my noose...

@DucksCanCode yeah, let's not use Martin Luthor King for fucking memes please

If HTML and XML are programming languages then comma separated files are databases.

@pain0486 Well in some sense CSV files are databases. 😉

@DucksCanCode @theactionslacks "I have a dream where people didn't get asshurt over funny memes."

@jhh2450 welp, that backfired lol

@theactionslacks Fr though.... it's 3 words and a man's picture. There's nothing to get all mad about. No racism, no discrimination, and nothing inappropriate. It's one of the most harmless memes I've seen, tbh.

@jhh2450 there is a problem though.

It's not funny.

@DucksCanCode I think you will find the problem lies within the users sense of humor. Must be defective. Perhaps you should return it and get a refund or a replacement?

@DucksCanCode sometimes image tells more than text!

@DucksCanCode A picture is worth a thousand words, and devRant's character limit is a thousand.

1,000 words > 1,000 characters. The numbers don't lie. Lol

@jhh2450 or just write a rant <= 1000 chars, I'd be worried if you had a rant over 1000 chars xD

Hahaha

@solooo7 i hope all know that HTML is not a programming language...

As the name says, it's a markup language, I didn't see any HTPL ;)

Html+css= black & white.

@squid Using VB nowadays is equivalent to eat a soup with the fork, so I agree with your prof!

@qbasic16 of course they are. They just lack almost every feature dbs are known for. I thought it was a good analogy😆

What's the last word in HTML?

@AlgoRythm markup language

Emphasis on *programming*, still a markup language

@VikiMaster2 That's the point of this post...? It's still a language, but not a programming one?

@sam9669 programming is just telling a computer what to do.

Telling a computer to put a button somewhere is programming, no matter how easy it is.

"HTML is not a programming language" is my biggest pet peeve. Get off your high horse and let all the languages live in peace.

@AlgoRythm Coming from a web dev, HTML is not a programming language. It's in the name of the language "Hyper Text Markup Language." Markup Language.

@jhh2450 You are mistaken. Just because a language is forgiving and uses tags doesn't mean it's not a programming language. Programming is much more broad than scripts.

@AlgoRythm HTML is about as much as programming language as a pedal car is a car.

@jhh2450 Very arrogant of you

@AlgoRythm How is it arrogant? It's legitimately in the name HTML. Markup Language =/= programming language. This is pretty pointless, seeing as you feelings, as am I. Let's agree to disagree, and stop wasting each other's time.

@jhh2450 My point being markup IS programming. It was your choice to argue something which I said was my biggest pet peeve. It makes me very angry when someone disincludes HTML from being a programming language when the definition of programming is so broad. Programming is something we can all do and we can all create with, but discrimination against specific languages because they are easy or different is arrogant and ignorant, and something I take offense to, every time.

@jhh2450 yeah @AlgoRythm is actually correct here. It's an unpopular opinion, but factual speaking html is a programming language because markup is programming. Markup is a subset of the broader term "programming " look up the definition of "to program" the definition is to "give instructions to a computer to preform a task". The definition is overly general and consequently, markup is DEFINITIONALY a subset of "to program"

@brettmoan Shhh. Let the dead horse remain dead please.

@jhh2450 sure. Just thought you should know of why from a factual basis (not a feeling argument at all) that you are wrong.
