#2God, is that article pretentious.
The points made can be made — and have been made hundreds of times before — with much less condescension.

#3> It is necessary for a system to display the property of being turing complete in order to be defined as a programming language.
There are programming languages that are explicitly not Turing complete. I'm not familiar with any of them, but an example is BlooP, where recursion is not permitted.

I don't think anyone would argue that HTML is a programming language - so you might be fighting shadows.

However, there are endless variations of template languages based on HTML, that arguably cross over into programming, mixing presentation and logic.
