HTML 5 isn’t a programming language! (Yes, I’m a nerd)
Assuming you’re talking about HTML5 & CSS it actually is Turing Complete.
Has anyone ported doom yet?
Wrong. Well, at least incomplete.
You need user interaction (e.g., clicking on a button) and HTML & CSS for Turing Completeness, apparently.
It’s a programming language regardless of it’s completeness. You give a computer instructions, in a DSL, it gets interpreted.
Don’t gate keep.
My voyager app is a programming laguage. When i click post, it gets interpreted and sends a comment to the server
Btw, is english a programming language cuz AI interprets it and does something with it?
Who is “it” which interprets things? Is it part of HTML/CSS?
The browser. When it reads the HTML and creates a DOM based on the provided instructions.
So where in that can I encode an arbitrary program? Like one could do in JavaScript?
Create a table of checkboxes with the rule 110 CSS applied.
Translate your program to a rule 110 program and put it in the top row of the table.
Advance the computation by checking the marked (orange in the example) checkboxes row by row.
Oof, I guess I’m a nerd
Awesome! I guess I’m a nerd!
I guess I’m an awesome nerd!
nerd.js
We need to rewrite it to nerd.rs for speed and memory safety!
Is this a safe space to say that my favorite programming language rn is Python?
Only if you use it for systems programming
No
Tap for spoiler
/jk obvi I like Python
neeeeeeerd
Its okay. I’m sure you’ll get over it.
Big oof.
What if you don’t have a favorite programming language? I’m a firm believer that each language offers a specific set a features that makes each one uniquely suck and I often find myself at the crossroads of continuing to use this garbage or to learn a new language only to find it sucks in a different way. (/s another way of saying each language has its niche… (but sucks outside of it))
You are a nerd
Hey, I’m not that old!
Is Fortran really your favorite language?
It’s easy syntax for math
Not Verilog though. That shit is for jocks.
Vhdl gang rise up.
Thank goodness, apparently I’m not old.
Truest words ever. Would flash/action script be considered?
No !haskell@programming.dev ? How the mighty have fallen.
It’s still my favorite for now, though I do find Idris and Purescript compelling, too, for different reasons.
D: You’re unpopular and a nerd.
I think the definition for me would be geek
What if you prefer a DSL? I use G’MIC for image processing tasks.
Technically, half of those are scripting languages not programming languages.
Anyway my favourite is Bash because I’m weird, even for a nerd.
how is a script not a program??
I always thought that programs had to be compiled to be classed as programs.
That’s just the difference between compiled and interpreted.
Interpreted programs such as web apps can very much be programs, after all.
Interpreted languages have classically been called scripting languages, it’s pedantic but it has use and meaning in the industry.
I am telling scripting languages are programming languages. And also html is not even a scripting language
