It is a language, just not a turing complete one.

Pidgen is a type of language, too, but you wouldn't be writing Shakespeare in it.

There's nothing to be pedantic about HTML here, and it just seems so absolutely pointless to me that people try to find a way to be.

It's not that it's not a language, it's that it's not a programming language. You don't write programs in it.

This topic always tickles the pedantic part of my brain. If I may assume that the reader would agree that JS is a programming language, what makes it a programming language and not HTML? What makes a static .js file a program and a static .html file not a program?

That's where I'm coming from.
