theres a line in grand a movie called grand torino when a kid walks into a mans garage needing to buy some tools after seeing all of the collection he had he replies saying “I can’t afford to buy all this stuff” to which Eastwood’s character replies “Even a bonehead like you can understand that a man acquires this over a period of 50 years or rather ones time”. But he then gives the kid some vice-grips, wd-40, and duct tape, and says he could keep it, and that he could solve a lot of household issues with those. point being its just another tool that goes in the belt.
without it there would be no text on webapp. its the skelaton of the body. not the organs. but still a tool. and yet amoungest many like all languages takes time to learn.

Despite the rudeness of his statement, there is truth to it, especially for programmers.

Answer 8

It's a markup language. It's not a programming language because you can't inplement logic on it, html is just the basic structure of the page. Javascript is the programming language used for the front-end of the page and it's executed by the browser.

Answer 9

No it is not, it's a markup language.
HTML is the foundation of all web pages. Without HTML, you wouldn’t be able to organize text or add images or videos to your web pages. HTML is the beginning of everything you need to know to create engaging web pages!

Answer 16

is spanish a foreign language. ?
what about french. ?
actually lets just stick to computers.

none of these are considered programming languages.

but to any one person who needs to insert something into the browser it all starts with html. yes a markup language.
So to say because it is on the easier side of learning out of all the languages but yet without it as the core skeleton of any single page that enters the document object model as pathetic as it sounds makes it a non existent language to be programmed is just naive.

if php was called phpML. that wouldnt make it a language thats designed to program an input and output in other words. lol

what im saying is when the bow breaks the cradle will fall.
to create any type of web application do you need html nope. but yet why is it that 90% of the worlds applications use it.

thats right cause in laymens terms it is in fact a programming language.
sounds logical enough.
