Programming is all about logic. Unless you’re programing with VBA.

Or xml. There's not much logic nor programming there either

@netikras actually...

(It's a great read btw not just for xml but lisp too)

@RememberMe :) Good one. Although using this to claim that XML is a programming language is the same as claiming English poetry is programming language as well : https://wikiwand.com/en/... . Or that a client requesting a fewature is talking to you in programming language: https://docs.cucumber.io/gherkin/...

a program code is a structure. If you like - jam it into xml, like this guy. Squeeze it into JSON. YAML. HTML (hush, I know. I'm mentioning it just for the sake of buzzword). Or be a sane person and use a syntax that's close to both: machine code and English. Like most useful programming languages do.

@netikras well yeah
I would say it's perfectly reasonable that those are programming languages given a suitable execution machine and the ability to follow certain axioms.

Not all languages have to actually be useful 🤷‍♂️ I would say these are just fun ways to look at things :)

It's actually kinda hilarious if you make an xml-machine that accepts xml in lisp-like fashion and then use it to build something like a http server.

@RememberMe I'd say it'd be a perfect waste of time 😁
