This meme is so “junior dev”. Just get over it.
Junior dev with 2 months of experience: “Did you know that HTML is not a programming language? I’m so smart for knowing this!”
Actual smart devs: “Who cares? You know what they mean, don’t be pedantic and focus on getting your tasks done in time.”
I mean that’s what L stands for lol
Thanks to the use of markup language in our comments we’re
allcoding anytime we comment.QQ: what’s the difference between markup and markdown?
lolololol
This post makes me sad because I’m not a programmer and I don’t even know what the difference is. I just want a hug but apparently I’m ineligible.
Well, html is commonly combined with css (you’d be mad not to), so I’ll just leave these here…

But that’s HTML+CSS, which is different from just HTML.
I’m aware.
I said it was commonly combined, so yeah, html isn’t a programming lang, but the thing it’s paired with 99% of the time is.
That’s true, but most people thinking “HTML is a programming language” is actually referring to just the HTML part.
I’ll trust you on that since I’ve never encountered one of those.
My only encounter with one of those is me, when I first started doing web development. I think it’s fair to say if someone doesn’t understand what a programming language is to the point where they confuse it with a markup language, they probably don’t understand it enough to link two languages together and realize that combo is a Turing complete solution. Also, from what I’ve seen, most people see HTML and CSS as discrete languages anyway.
