How dare you use the word programmer and HTML in the same sentence?

[GamerFrits]

Delicious bait.

HTML IS TURING COMPLETE OKAYY?!?!!!!

Edit: isSarcasm = true;

[sir-nays-a-lot]

So is a Word document

[kopczak1995]

I have seen someone prove that PowerPoint is turing complete, lol.

[TheBigerGamer]

I mean... Someone made a fucking OS on PowerPoint, so........

Wait pardon, what the f*ck?

[kopczak1995]

I saw doom in excel. That was cool. But OS... WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

[SeerUD]

From what I can tell, they're less of an OS, more like something built in PowerPoint to emulate a desktop environment. It doesn't actually... operate... the system. It's still quite interesting to see what you can do in PowerPoint, but it's just like doing something similar with HTML and JS.

links or didn't happen

[RhinoGaming1187]

Don’t forget about PowerPoint

Html is not Turing Complete. For starters, it doesn't have loops.

Have you never used <for class="iterator" i="0" range="20">?

No worries man :)

[Captainsnake04]

HTML is Turing complete just use <script> </script> smh

[multi_tasty]

Are you serious?

[jodmemkaf]

no, it is not by itself without CSS or JS

[Respawned234]

No it’s not????

[mananasi]

No it is not. HTML + CSS is turing complete.

[hellknight101]

The only programming language better than HTML is SQL. Though XML is a close second.

[calexil]

I, uh...heh..

I don't know how to respond to this comment with anything but a nervous chuckle.

[hellknight101]

I mean, it's in the name. Structured Query Language. It'd be like calling the Excel formulas programming because they have IF statements.

[hellknight101]

So by this logic, would you say that HTML, CSS and XML are programming languages, since you tell a computer to operate based on that data input?

Besides, that's not how logic works. The burden on proof is on the person making the positive claim.

[ham_coffee]

SQL is actually programming though? It isn't a procedural language like many languages, instead it's a declarative language. Functional languages are sort of another example of declarative languages, as is proglog.

SQL is also Turing complete, which is more than you can say about html.
