Probably not a good title to seek upvotes. If it does get upvotes, more programmers get share in your pain 😅

Html is a programming language.

That’s right there with calling JS, PowerShell and Bash “programming languages”. I said what I said.

Edit: I’m a developer myself and it looks like I triggered everyone just as the post said. Thanks for playing!

Tell me you don't know what a programming language is without telling me you don't know what a programming language is

tbf javascript is not a programming language, it is the language of the devil

I think what people generally mean when they say programming language (other than just a language to write a program) is that the language is turing complete. Even with this more limited definition, JavaScript, Bash, and Powershell are turing complete and therefore programming languages.
