    Ooh, I’ve had a terrible idea, let’s make an actual programming language with html-like syntax, that sounds fun and not at all horrifying

    It’s like when customers at West Marine dress up in outfits and call each other ‘Captain.’

          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

    If you’re hired as a developer and the only tasks you’re getting assigned are HTML, are you a developer?

    I think rather than the tools and languages you use, titles should be determined by the kinds of memes you consume.

    I think op hasn’t heard of web components. Technically it requires js, but still it will replace react and angular and vue soon me thinks.
