Most of these are scripting languages. Some are even markup languages. It's like the meme creator didn't even know what a programming language was.
I hope someone got fired for that blunder

What's the difference between a scripting language and a programming language?

[–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

One is:

  • a scripting/interpreted language needs an interpreter to be installed on the target system in order to run
  • a programming/compiled language needs a compiler on the host machine and will run as-is standalone in the target machine

Still a language to make the computer do something. Thus, programming language. Scripts are programs.
