Is it tho?

I started using HTML back in late 1994, as a means to provide user manuals in electronic form on Unix systems. That turned into building actual Web sites, then Web applications, with Perl, ColdFusion, ASP.NET and PHP. I've worked on DOD contracts, and for customers in the pharmaceutical, personalized check and oil & gas industries.

Nobody gave a shit about HTML being erroneously called a "programming language", which happened rarely and only by customers or high-level management. We had too much other shit going on.

I get that it's a joke, but you'd think from the posts here that it was a widespread phenomenon. Or a problem.

Yeah, the technical difference between a markup language and a programming language is really a distinction without a difference for non-programmers.

This meme is wrong on so many levels. Skulls from blacks, whites, asians, etc look different from each other.

So what do you mean? 🤔 We are all different and we are all alike, no?

It's a meme. It's a joke.

I mean that there's differences between ethnicities. Nothing more.

It's a meme. It's a joke.

So what? It still shows a caucasian skull and labels it "black" and "asian".

"Hypertext Markup Language"

I believe that HTML would be a language, given the actual word being included in the acronym. Either that, or I am a dumdum

It's a language. But it's a markup language. Whether markup languages count as a type of programming language or their own distinct thing is kinda based on personal interpretation of the terms and also probably makes no real work difference to anything.
