    Yes, and while it's proof that if you bang on a square peg to get it to fit into a round hole long enough, the peg and hole will eventually deform to the point where you don't need to bang anymore, I still maintain that Web + application = absurd.

      whatever you want to call them. scripting syntaxes. the point was stated: the number of them is absurd. Give me a break.

        Someone I went to HS with had a dog that did that to cats. His 2(?) year old brother took a picture and wanted to know what they were doing... :omg:

        I hope his parents never mentioned the birds and the bees - I can only imagine the confusion that poor kid would have had. Bids and Bees, Cats and Dogs, how the hell did I get here?!

          XML (and all its bastard variants) is a markup specification. It's not a language. ASP.Net is a collection of technologies ("classic" ASP wasn't a language either) that serves as a vehicle for allowing web pages utilize Microsoft proprietary scripting languages. CSS can't be considered a language because it has no control functionality. Declarative programming is akin to vocalized grunts that serve no specific purpose.

              css isn't a "language". In the purest definition, neither is XML (including it's bastard variants). asp.net is not a language. xpath is not a language. I guess that leaves you with C#, javascript, and SQL. What's your point?

              They definitely have the quality of a language.

                I've no idea. It's been almost a decade since I talked to him.

                  Just for reference: XML = eXtensible Markup Language XHTML = eXtensible Hypertext Markup Language the W3C considers XPath a language, check their website. asp.net is admittedly a framework, but its just like html with tag namespaces, and should be considered an independent language. CSS is a stylesheet language, here is a PhD paper on stylesheet languages from the Opera website: http://people.opera.com/howcome/2006/phd/[^]

                  Yes but they are not programming languages.

                    Where in his original post does he state programming languages? He just said languages. You need to find something valid if you insist on bandwagoning here.

                    This statement is false

                      Wait, did you just say that my previous statement is both valid and invalid at same time? Anyway, why didn't he list English or/and whatever other natural language he uses? :rolleyes:

                        The larger point is

                        Web + "Application" = absurd.

                        So, yes. :)

                          If I did you'd just give me an even harder time about my wording, which would then swiftly degenerate into semantics, name calling, and finally, the stripping of Man Points.
