In a previous post you will see I stated that HTML would never be able to
help you balance your check book.  It is not a mathematical language.
Surprise there are more than one type of computer language.

I don't know if you are aware of it but you seem to be stuck in the concept
that since a Turing machine is an example of a computational engine and the
machine that is running the HTML code is a computational device (a computer)
ergo the whole world is a Turing machine.  I'm afraid it's not true.  A
computer is flexible enough to run computational programs as well as others.
The thread is about Low-level vs. High-level programming.  HTML is a very
useful High-level programming.  It is not an example of getting the most
efficiency out of the computer.
