Nothing, but it's not a programming language

But the meme says developer, not programmer.. wouldn't that be ok then?

The first step to being a developer seems to be learning how to put down other devs :(

What is it actually then?

[–] shuzuko@midwest.social 10 points 11 months ago (3 children)

It's a markup language. In the simplest explanation, a programming language describes a process (what does the thing do) while a markup language describes a structure (how is the thing supposed to be displayed). There's more to it than that, but someone else can get into deeper if they want, it's beyond me lol

Diogenes throws a Ruby on Rails model over the fence and shouts “Behold a markup language!”

A markup language does not define how something is to be displayed, that's what a styling language is for (usually CSS). A markup language semantically defines what certain parts of the created document are.

I knew it was a markup language, but didn't know the diff between the two since I'm not a programmer. Thanks

Psshaw. I programmed my Myspace page with that language: checkmate.
