    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.

      How else would you ensure that the peg stays in the hole?

        Well what I'm really whining about is trying to write network apps on top of a protocol that was never ever designed for it. What needs to happen is HTTP 2.0, but that's about as likely as cats making love to dogs.

                  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.

                          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/[^]

                            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

                                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.
