| Jun 3, 2012 at 21:14 | comment | added | Tikhon Jelvis | @JarrodRoberson: While you are right, I don't think Turing completeness is a useful criteria to define a "programming language". Particularly, there are some very nice total functional languages that are not Turing complete but are still useful for writing programs (e.g. Epigram or Agda). | |

XML definitely isn't a programming language either. They are data encoding formats! This like saying that a JPEG is a programming language! | |

| May 22, 2012 at 20:25 | comment | added | Vitaly Olegovitch | @StevenBurnap yes FORTH is interesting because it just operates on a stack, and so not much grammar is needed. | |
| May 22, 2012 at 20:19 | comment | added | jcora | AFAIK HTML isn't a programming language. | |
| May 22, 2012 at 19:46 | comment | added | user53141 | Might consider Forth, which doesn't have much of a grammar. | |
| Apr 29, 2012 at 18:35 | comment | added | alfa64 | also, by extension XML could be considered. | |

| Apr 29, 2012 at 13:55 | comment | added | Vitaly Olegovitch | Thank you for the great explanation! I guess that this way the HTML language must have a big number of keywords. I guess that regular expessions on tokens could be used to decide the type of a token. Of course that would make the compiler much slower. | |
