HTML is a pseudo-programming langauge

HTML is not a programming language at all -- it's a data format, much
like JPEG or MP3 is.

I disagree.

HTML is an interpreted langauge that has a simple method of handling

Sheesh, I've been reading some weird stuff in this thread. HTML is not
a data format, it's not a programming language, it's a Markup Language.
Though if you've got to explain what that is to someone, calling it a
"data format" is probably a very good place to start.

yeah but the designer of Java intended the langauge to be portable to
any machine that supports it and run it from a JVM, but its running
from a second compiled form called byte code which depends on the JVM
to run it.

I was pretty sure that the original whitepaper [1] mentioned bytecode
and JVMs and yes, it does:

Theres none for Windows XP, and secondly the compiler by gcc is has

Cygwin?
