I'm back in the pages of Wired with an essay about the greatness and weirdness of HTML, especially when you dig into its programming guts. This was so fun to write and I'm delighted to have my byline in the magazine (and the web!) again: https://www.wired.com/story/html-is-actually-a-programming-language-fight-me/
@tim I am so glad they finally added programming things to HTML, like variables, loops, conditionals, and functions; no, wait, they did not. It is still a markup language.
@jamesb192 @tim fwiw the HTML5 standard is turing-complete
