"HTML is a language that needs to be compiled"
- Web dev "teacher"

Wow they really know their stuff....

-sarcasm

I compile HTML using css! 😝

@jespersh
I guess I would say html is a interpreted language because it runs real-time. As in, it is not pre compiled into any other form before or is run.

@gitpush
That's nothing! My Java compiled it for me.

@coolq teach me master!

I put a JS file next to a html file and I think it worked.

Whow! @drGreat5 didn't expect something like this to happen in Bangalore. We in the North have high expectations from Silicon Valley of India. I believe your teacher also uses Microsoft Word to browse websites, MS Paint to make PPTs, Illustrator to compile code?

Maybe he meant haml

HTML is a low level language did you code elements directly into the computer it's basically assembly for the internet /s

"and you are a teacher that needs to be fired"

Whelp HTML goes through a language interpreter and is translated to a DOM elements tree which will be combined with a cssrule(unsure about the specific name) tree to create a render tree which goes through layouting until painted by the renderer/GPU. That means you translate the HTML from a simpel textfile to paintable chunks for your Grafik unit. It may be not a classic compiling process ending up as machine code working with pointers and your memory but it sure is not a simple it show.

@CodeBastard Missed the 5 min Mark but I bring the source:

HTML can implement no logic, therefore it cannot be qualified as a programming language. Data description language at best since it's only XML variation.

@kabhishek Unfortunately silicon valley or not, we're fucked. Needless to say I stopped listening to her, but I wouldn't be surprised if she used them

@CodeBastard I'm pretty sure she has no clue about any of the things you said.

Well SCSS / Sass needs to be "compiled"
