@himentourage Agreed. If you can show me flow control and loop statements in HTML, then I'll agree that it's a programming language.

@pburto "average business application can be in the user's hands more quickly when it's done with VB6."
Considering it takes longer to type and because of the fact that there is no real performance difference between .NET languages, due to them all being JIT compiled, I find this claim dubious.

@zubatzu What about Java and .NET languages, they are both compiled and interpreted, but mostly interpreted since they are compiled into a form of byte code and then interpreted and cached for increased performance.

@RoarOfVictory Yes, VB, the most productive and common development tool ever created.
I do .NET now, but even today it's still true that the average business application can be in the user's hands more quickly when it's done with VB6. Although there are obvious advantages, it takes about 10% longer to produce the same product. (And this is consistent with studies.)
By definition, the best software is the software that users find... (drumroll) ...useful.
Ahh the life of a programmer.
Sex, drugs and float variables!

@kingofthedistant In my opinoun anything that is not compiled is not programming but scripting
