Why html5 is not qualified to be programming language?

Question

html5 can be used with js&css to make some animations, programs and games.What else is required for html5 to become a programming languahe?

Answer 1

We can't implement any logic using Html5. For example, can we check logic of prime number using html5? No. We can't even calculate sum of two numbers using only this. We need a real programming language along with html5 to perform all these tasks. Like Php, c# etc.

Answer 2

It was originally designed as HyperText Markup Language. HTML5 itself is only markup (elements location and page info) language

Answer 3

Programming languages have certain features, like branching, looping, that sort of thing, that HTML5 lacks. HTML5 defines markup for some interactive features, but the markup is almost entirely static (there's someinteraction implied in the definition of select elements and such). A lot of "HTML5" features you hear about aren't HTML5 at all, but rather things you can do with JavaScript (a programming language) in a modestly-capable browser.

HTML5 is increasingly taking over (or has taken over) the role of defining both the structure of web pages and the API to interacting with them from a programming language. That used to be quite separate, in the DOM specs, but a lot of that is now being folded into the HTML5 specification. But again, that's just defining APIs. The actual coding using those APIs requires (in almost all cases) an actual programming language.

Answer 4

html itself needs control structures like if...else or switch...case and also loops (for, while, do...while) for starters. then there's a need for variables, functions and/or objects.
also html is interpreted not compiled. if html had all the above mentioned, it would be a scripting language like JavaScript or Python.

Answer 5

HTML5 itself is like its name says just a "Hypertext Markup Language".
Combined with CSS is just a bit prettier.

Javascript itself can be seen as an programming language.
For example it is also used to program a web server with nodejs.
