I would say that it is. I have read this page that says HTML isn't and I can probably agree with that, unless the page has JavaScript in it. Post whether you think it is a programming language or not.

I believe JavaScript is a programming language. While HTML and CSS (and XML, EDI, XHTML, JSON, etc) are simply methods to format and transfer text/data, JavaScript can actually process information, change data and dynamically compute solutions.

Yes, it uses logic and structure (if, else, for, while). HTML and CSS def are not like most have agreed, it does not have logic, just makes things look shiny.

I believe JavaScript is Turing Complete -> I believe JavaScript is a programming language.
Programming is a branch of mathematics.

It seems everyone thinks Javascript is a programming language, including me. Let's see what Wikipedia has to say about that. It says Javascript is a scripting language, so Javascript is definitely a programming language.
