Go ahead and tweet “HTML is real programming,” and watch programmers show up in your mentions to go, “As if.” Except when you write a web page in HTML, you are creating a data model that will be interpreted by the browser. This is what programming is.
No it isn't. HTML is just a static markup language. Programming is when you write ASP, PHP or JavaScript code and they output the data to be interpreted as HTML.
The compiler labored for an hour an produced an executable that amounted to “print 2.71828...”
I remember reading a similar story where an optimizing compiler was able to evaluate the output of some popular CPU benchmarking software at compile-time. All I can say is I'd love to know who's making these optimizing compilers, because I've never used one that clever.

Or C#, or perl, or...
They all dynamically generare HTML for the browser on the fly programmatically.
us C++ programmers piss on anyone who thinks javascript is programming
