Don''t just make some stupid quote, but tell us WHY it isn''t. Else you could''ve just not post here. A message like this is useless. I agree that HTML is not a programming language (and HTML is certainly not PROGRAMMING ) but a markup language. The guy you quoted ALREADY SAID THIS so I don''t really see any point in your post... oh well... hmm

HTML isn''t programming. There are no variables involved, the effect is only limited, non-compilable... basically, I''d see this more as a scripting language, personally.

VB is a programming language. You can do just a great with VB as you would with C++. As proof, here''s a screenshot of an unfinished game I wrote in VB. It runs music using an SPC engine (yes, SNES music) even. The attempt was to recreate an SNES-like game.



Ran a little slow on slower computers, but hey, what can I say. VB is a little more of a hog than C++.

The question of whether a language has variables or is compilable is not an arbiter of whether it is a programming language. You might say that HTML is not Turing-complete, and therefore is not a programming language. Or, you might say that a language needs to have a specification carrying semantics which describe how constructs can affect the state of the machine, which would rule out silly claims of XML being a programming language.

It''s a mark-up language.

Hi everyone and thanks for all replies.

First I''d like to say that I didn''t think that so many people would be "hurt" by my question and that they would reply "injuring" me...
But you know programmers and their egos...

I NEVER wanted to say that Visual Basic wasn''t programming it was a SIMPLE question and I wanted YOUR OPINION !

So why did I post this question ?
I did 8 years programming and I used many languages to see what was this and that. I used Basic, Pascal, Visual Basic (!), C, Assembly, C++, Caml, Java.
Now I only use C/C++/Assembly.

I used VB for 2 years.
One day I''ve read that Visual Basic executables weren''t "real ones". They only contains calls to .dll and that explained why vb programs were so slow.

From this I started thinking that visual basic programs were another system of programming than "pure" languages that are assembly, pascal, c/c++.

So don''t feel hurt everytime we''re asking you something and be subjective ! No one really answered the question...

c++ and assembly are too high level. I code everything in binary!

Seriously who gives a shit.. just code and get better fucker
