HTML is a document markup language. TeX is a typesetting system. Neither are programming. And no Common Lisp or Scheme? For shame!

Agreed with kaskaid. Very disappointed by the comprehensive lack of any functional programming languages. At the very least there should be Scheme, Lisp, and Haskell!

Technically, TeX is a programming language as well as a typesetting system. Plain SQL isn't (although there are extensions that make it one). Still, this quiz is too subjective to be interesting. (You might have gone for historically important, in which case lisp is the most obvious omission...)

? This is such a bizarre set of choices. Many of which are NOT programming languages. A lot of scripting languages and completely random ones like HTML and MATLAB (a mark-up language and a scripting language). Also, where's Visual Basic?

Turbo Pascal? Visual Basic? I'm not even in computer science! You could've at least looked at the Wikipedia article!

@Maverick197: a scripting language is a type of programming language, and MATLAB is both a programming language and a development environment. @kagomeshuko: Turbo Pascal is not a language, but a development environment for the Pascal language. HTML and 'Assembler' are definitely not programming languages, though.

@Muskratio: Refal is (apparently) a functional language!
