    How is Hyper Text Markup Language not a programming language? Now JavaScript and CSS are arcane rituals, but html is well behaved.

      How is it a programming language? It’s a markup language. There’s no logic, variables or any way to manipulate data.

        It’s right there in the name, but then there’s CFML, which is unpopular, but it definitely features logic, variables, and data manipulation.

          CFML walks the line, but it exists to make HTML in a programmatic way, and be very approachable to non-programmers. It’s not really a markup language, it’s a programming language disguised as markup.

      It is in the name. It is a markup language, not a programming/scripting language.
