Ooh, I've had a terrible idea, let's make an actual programming language with html-like syntax, that sounds fun and not at all horrifying

[–] BeefPiano@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

LISP with tags instead of open and close parens.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 5 points 10 months ago

XSLT would like to have a word with you. "Arrays" start at 1.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

XML syntax, there's at least ant scripts. They're ... pretty obnoxious to deal with.

[–] lseif@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

html + xml + this language = fully tag based stack

Funny meme, but I don't think we should gatekeep. HTML is the path to HTML5 and thus JavaScript.

[–] Raine_Wolf@lemm.ee 12 points 10 months ago

Gods... This happens to me when I say I program in R.

If you’re hired as a developer and the only tasks you’re getting assigned are HTML, are you a developer?

I think rather than the tools and languages you use, titles should be determined by the kinds of memes you consume.

coding != programming

xcuse Shakespeare

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Does Scratch count?

[–] EvolvedTurtle@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I personally think it does It's very good at teaching you the fundamentals

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 5 points 10 months ago

Nah, he fine. Now if he'd have said VBA, then it would be justified.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

AND! A little CSS.

[–] benvars@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

I feel attacked

Unrelated: anyone knows what this template is called? I can never seem to find it or describe it intelligently enough to search engines.

[–] runner_g@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Captain America Elevator meme.

[–] mino@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

Thanks!

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

civil war elevator?

[–] Mischala@lemmy.nz 4 points 10 months ago

HTMX and AlpineJS would like a word.

[–] Haus@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

It's like when customers at West Marine dress up in outfits and call each other 'Captain.'

[–] Ryan213@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

WHAt's wRoNg wItH HtmL

[–] bauve@jlai.lu 7 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Nothing, but it's not a programming language

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

But the meme says developer, not programmer.. wouldn't that be ok then?

[–] thiccdiccnicc@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

The first step to being a developer seems to be learning how to put down other devs :(

[–] Amends1782@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What is it actually then?

[–] shuzuko@midwest.social 10 points 10 months ago (3 children)

It's a markup language. In the simplest explanation, a programming language describes a process (what does the thing do) while a markup language describes a structure (how is the thing supposed to be displayed). There's more to it than that, but someone else can get into deeper if they want, it's beyond me lol

[–] BeefPiano@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Diogenes throws a Ruby on Rails model over the fence and shouts “Behold a markup language!”

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

a markup language describes a structure (how is the thing supposed to be displayed)

A markup language does not define how something is to be displayed, that's what a styling language is for (usually CSS). A markup language semantically defines what certain parts of the created document are.

[–] shuzuko@midwest.social 1 points 9 months ago

Lol that's fair, but since those words in that combination barely even make sense to me I tried to dumb it down more and ended up being wrong 😂

I'm the idiot who searches stack for code and copies and pastes it into the project so no one should listen to me anyway.

[–] Amends1782@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

I knew it was a markup language, but didn't know the diff between the two since I'm not a programmer. Thanks

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Psshaw. I programmed my Myspace page with that language: checkmate.

[–] erogenouswarzone@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

I think op hasn't heard of web components. Technically it requires js, but still it will replace react and angular and vue soon me thinks.
