And 8 in 10 Americans think HTML is a programming language.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

And 5 in 10 Americans think you can parse it with regular expressions.

[-] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 8 months ago

You can parse anything with regex, if you’re willing to give up your soul for it.

[-] anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago

Show me the regex for the language L = {a^n b^n | n in N}

I will die on the hill that HTML should be treated like a programming language.

[-] extant@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

The hyper text markup language programming language?

[-] Molten_Moron 5 points 8 months ago

I absolutely agree, and luckily I think it mostly is treated as a programming language. It's just a technicality that makes for a great joke.

I mean, technically it’s the other 2 out of 10 that are wrong…🙃

HTML, the programming language, is a practical, turing-complete[1], stack-based programming language based on HTML, the markup language. It uses elements defined in HTML, the markup language, in order to do computations.

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should!

Yo, dawg, I heard you like HTML, so I put HTML in your HTML so you could HTML while you HTML

They're wrong too, although less-so.

Also, what about that last American?

[-] activ8r@sh.itjust.works 7 points 8 months ago

The last one knows it's not a programming language and is annoyingly vocal about it.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 6 points 8 months ago

Mom, look! I'm a statistic!

The last American knows it's a markup language.
