    I would loudly go on the record for my reasoning that Hypertext Markup Language is not Turing Complete, and therefore fails to be a programming language by the only academic and theoretical definition that matters.

    They already are going to award me “lawyer up” money, so I’ll come after them for damages later if B is the "right’ answer.

          CSS can be included as a style property without requiring the script/style tag though.

            Those are still two different languages. HTML isn’t an umbrella term for HTML+CSS in any form.

            I can write a .ini code where a value of a key is a binary that the interpreter runs. Are ini files a programming language? Hell no, and neither is html.

            Is R a compiled programming language because several of its built in functions run compiled C code? No.

              The point in that case would be that while not intended it could be used as a programming language. The R example seems unrelated. Every language must run compiled code at one point or else the CPU wouldn’t know what to do.
