::I still do not see any definition of non-programming. Your reference to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_(computer_science) instructions] only supports my earlier guess that you are confusing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperative_programming imperative] with programming and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declarative_programming declarative] with non-programming. See also [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming_languages list of programming languages]. --[[User:Dmitry-kazakov|Dmitry-kazakov]] 10:30, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
::: That's not a definitive list because it is automatically collected from whatever people happened to tag. The point about the data languages is that they just define a human-readable serialization format for a data structure. There is no execution model; they just exist. This is utterly different from real declarative languages like [[Prolog]]. —[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 13:08, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
::: HTML, JSON, SGML, SVG and XML are not designed to be programming languages. The maintainers do not expect to support you writing a program in them. (except maybe as a small part of their primary focus, and even then, that part usually comes with its own name such as ECMA script). --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 13:34, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
