Uh, why call it HTML? Why not call it HTML-Stack or something? It's not HTML, but a language using HTML syntax.
It's web dev, the best way to get adoption is to trick people into using your stack

#22The best part is how they have to keep repeating "HTML, the programming language" or "HTML, the markup language" everywhere in an attempt to keep things clear :)
It would be awesome if they were using some sort of macro system / templating engine to consistently expand {{html_prog}} and {{html_markup}} just to keep it straight while they're writing it.
Thank you for posting this, it made my day a bunch brighter!

#25Why is the iterator implemented as a GOTO instead of something like the following? Genuine question, I don't use stack based langs.

in designing HTML, the programming language, i tried to stay as close as possible to existing semantics in HTML, the markup language, as I could, so that HTML, the markup language, developers would be comfortable with it in a minimum amount of time
most HTML, the markup langauge, developers are used to anchor tags (i.e. the tag) with an href that begins with a hash "jumping" to that element. Therefore I decided to take that well known semantic and integrate it into HTML, the programming language.
there are multiple examples of loops using this (as well as the "if" conditional) tag that I think show how intuitive this will be for most HTML, the markup language, developers, but of course research is ongoing in this and other matters
