What does "non-programming language" mean in this context? --Dmitry-kazakov 07:39, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

HTML and XML are computer languages that focus entirely on data. They are not programming languages. (Note that they can embed source code, but that's a side effect.) —Donal Fellows 08:38, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

The primary focus of the developers isn't to produce a programming language. So sed is an editor as are vim and emacs,bc is a calculator, and m4 a macro processor. The fact that they might accomplish RC tasks doesn't mean that they should be considered as programming languages. Shades of grey. --Paddy3118 09:17, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
