Ooh, I’ve had a terrible idea, let’s make an actual programming language with html-like syntax, that sounds fun and not at all horrifying
LISP with tags instead of open and close parens.
XSLT would like to have a word with you. “Arrays” start at 1.
XML syntax, there’s at least ant scripts. They’re … pretty obnoxious to deal with.
html + xml + this language = fully tag based stack
Funny meme, but I don’t think we should gatekeep. HTML is the path to HTML5 and thus JavaScript.
Do we gatekeep Java though?
No. But we do get to hate Java.
Gods… This happens to me when I say I program in R.
If you’re hired as a developer and the only tasks you’re getting assigned are HTML, are you a developer?
I think rather than the tools and languages you use, titles should be determined by the kinds of memes you consume.
coding != programming
xcuse Shakespeare
Does Scratch count?
I personally think it does It’s very good at teaching you the fundamentals
Nah, he fine. Now if he’d have said VBA, then it would be justified.
I feel attacked
AND! A little CSS.
Unrelated: anyone knows what this template is called? I can never seem to find it or describe it intelligently enough to search engines.
Captain America Elevator meme.
Thanks!
It’s like when customers at West Marine dress up in outfits and call each other ‘Captain.’
I think op hasn’t heard of web components. Technically it requires js, but still it will replace react and angular and vue soon me thinks.

Nothing, but it’s not a programming language
But the meme says developer, not programmer… wouldn’t that be ok then?
The first step to being a developer seems to be learning how to put down other devs :(
What is it actually then?
It’s a markup language. In the simplest explanation, a programming language describes a process (what does the thing do) while a markup language describes a structure (how is the thing supposed to be displayed). There’s more to it than that, but someone else can get into deeper if they want, it’s beyond me lol
Diogenes throws a Ruby on Rails model over the fence and shouts “Behold a markup language!”
a markup language describes a structure (how is the thing supposed to be displayed)
A markup language does not define how something is to be displayed, that’s what a styling language is for (usually CSS). A markup language semantically defines what certain parts of the created document are.
Lol that’s fair, but since those words in that combination barely even make sense to me I tried to dumb it down more and ended up being wrong 😂
I’m the idiot who searches stack for code and copies and pastes it into the project so no one should listen to me anyway.
I knew it was a markup language, but didn’t know the diff between the two since I’m not a programmer. Thanks
Psshaw. I programmed my Myspace page with that language: checkmate.
