Javascript is a programming language. Using HTML in the same room doesn't make it a programming language. My grandson 'paints' on my computer. It doesn't make him a programmer. If you can even conceive of HTML being a programming language, instead of a markup language, you're waaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy short of understanding "programming".
