Category talk:Wikipedians by programming language

I would appreciate it if someone would tell me what I did wrong to end up at the start of the list instead of in alphabetical order. Nahaj 21:44:57, 2005-09-09 (UTC)

You included a space before the N, which will thus list you under the space character; which precededs A as far as ASCII/UTF are concerned. I've corrected your user page - hope you don't mind. Mindmatrix 22:17, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mind at all. Thank you.

Non-programming languages

Some of the subcategories just don't belong here. For example, HTML and XHTML are document markup languages, not programming languages; CSS belongs somewhere in this area as well. I hereby propose to create a "Wikipedian doucment markup users" category into which to move these. And add TeX and LaTeX while at it. What about RTF? Do enough people code in it to be worth it?

Also, two others in here that don't really qualify as programming but are hard to classify otherwise: XML and Regular expression (re). -- Smjg 11:02, 23 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know enough about XML to say (as far as I understand it is complex data definitions & storage), but regular expressions allow actions to be performed, so that looks like programming to me. HTML/XHTML & CSS don't exactly belong here. The templates I made for these categories don't list the users as programmers (unless someone changed them). As for RTF, no one writes it by hand unless they are making a RTF editor. So to summerize: CSS, HTML/XHTML and RTF are all presentation layer, while XML, regular expressions deal with the actual data layer (I consider dealing with data programming).
