What does your sleep paralysis demon ask you?

idk it seem nobody has an answer. Can we just call it “mid-level”?
Yes, es soon you start pointer arithmetic you dig your own grave. Hence low level
Does HTML or LaTeX or Markdown provide a computer instructions which are executed? I’m going to take the unpopular opinion and say they are programming languages.
You can’t write a program in HTML.
End of discussion.
programing languages arent use to make programs they are used to program machines which is exactly what u do with html.
they are used to program machines
Which HTML cannot do, because if it could, that would be called a program. That’s what the word means.
HTML makes documents. It’s a markup language. It’s not even Turing-complete accidentally.
The “program” is the package of instructions that tell the machine what to do. The instructions are written in a programming language.
With a markup language, the markup is the input to a program (like a browser) that tells the machine what to do.
But I think it’s not really boolean, it’s a sliding scale. Especially with so many programming languages being interpreted or JIT compiled. I think it’s less a programming language than many other programming-related things, but more of a programming language than, say, a slideshow.
It’s a markup language, not a programming language.
Woosh
I don’t think it is.
Care to explain what I’m missing?
Do I really have to explain the joke? The sleep paralysis demon is asking “Is HTML a programming language?” And the person is “sleep paralysed” to correct them or do anything about it really.
I don’t know what else I can explain besides that.
So… The humor is just absurdity?
Why does a demon need a moustache?
Makes him cooler?
Makes him evil
So, if he shaves, would that makes him neutral? Good?
is a hotdog a sandwich?
Taco according to the cube rule
Yes. Markup-Languages are a subset of Programming-Languages. Turing completness doesn’t matter as things like magic the gathering and habbo hotel are Turing complete
I am markdown and latex programmer.
Idk it just feels wrong.
If you can write a moderately complex math equation in tex on the first try, you’re a programmer in my book.

I feel like programming language produces programs, and makeup languages formatted documents.
I wouldn’t consider a formatted document to be a program, so I don’t consider a markup language to be a programming language.
Doesn’t make it less valuable, though
ACKSHUALLY … markup languages do not produce a formatted document. They define semantic elements of the document. The formatting is done by the compiler (whatever it is in the individual context) based on styles defined by a styling language.
