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.

wrong again! CSS is turing complete, and HTML can include inline CSS, so you can implement a Turing machine in HTML only (without external .js files)

[-] nef@slrpnk.net 21 points 2 months ago

It can also include inline JS. HTML alone cannot be turing complete, but HTML+CSS is.

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

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

[-] filcuk@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

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.

Same goes for JS, for example the onclick attribute.

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Very good point, I forgot that was an option.
