          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!”

            I knew it was a markup language, but didn’t know the diff between the two since I’m not a programmer. Thanks
