it doesn't have to be touring complete to be programming
for example when you write HTML you are programming the abstract HTML layout machine
most programs don't make essential use of turing completeness. arbitrarily declaring that you're only programming if the language you write something in (note how hypocritial this is, you may well be using a sub-turing subset of a language) is turing complete is just an result of the pathetic arrogance shit-tier programmers use to make themselves feel like they're better than someone.
>>1 mostly agree, though HTML was probably not the best example (although obviously deliberate..?)
I'd say the reason hmtl gets picked on, is that it is missing the Selection (if-then) and Iteration (for/while) of the Holy [Sequence / Selection / Iteration] Programming Trinity... also it has no native ability for Functions/Procedures [basically no Jesus..?] So maybe 1/4tr of a proper language, you are still issuing coded instructions, but in said limited fashion. Just add javascript !

im surprised anyone would dare even pretend to agree with me. /prog/ seems to have become much wiser than when I was last here.
I guess you're right, as long as you are inputing instructions you are programming, no matter the interpreter being turing complete or not. But then, I don't think there are any interpreters that are completely turing complete...You see, the finite memory thing is a problem which isn't solved by ignoring it. Kind of ironic that the most pompous idiots (linux c programmers) do.

more people need to accept this.
being a "programmer" doesn't mean you're hot shit.

Agreed.
People forget that everything is learned, and that the semi-retarded kid bashing out html in notepad can learn too. It might just take the poor little drool a while.
