Something like a hypertext typed programming syntax, HTTPS, to compile to HTML, the Programming Language.

considering a hindley milner type system for the language, but it would be a big lift w/ explicit stack semantics also looking at HTML, the programming language,++, or, possibly, Objective-HTML, the programming langauge, which would be easier to get to and potentially more awful

Maybe I am mistaken but it seems to me that the stack is implemented with a Javascript. I am a bit disappointed, in the sense that the stack too could have been implemented as a a list of tags in the containing document. This would enable interesting features such as visual debugging (you just check the document to see the status of the program) and more importantly would enable the "code as data" paradigm, giving us…

I’d shorten it to just HTML at that point, where the H is short for HTML: H TML: T uring-complete M achine L anguage

ah, a good idea i mean, who knows, maybe that's what HTML in HTML, the programming language stands for!
