Programmer chuds get bent out of shape that HTML is the single most influential programming language ever made. Think about it, Devs post code snippets to StackOverflow, rendered in HTML. An HTML-interpreter (aka a 'Software Engineer') copy pastes the snippet, transpiles it into a Python file, Java file etc. and later in the process you get a binary.

Basic Brogrammers rage against programming behemoth HTML out of bitterness that all they are is HTML's compiler.

to be fair, the way it's worded I can parse as "a language for web programming", instead of "a programming language for the web"

I searched through the whole crossword puzzle twice before I realized you were mentioning an alternate answer (which doesn't fit in the blank) and not pointing out a nonsense word in the puzzle. 88 across is was, by the way.

If you create data with the intention for that data to be used with a program then that data becomes a part of that program and you are therefore programming when creating that data.

So writing that post was programming?
