HTML is not trying to accomplish a task but specifically displaying stuff on the screen. Like a word document, or a jpeg.
But what if my task is to display stuff on the screen?
Then you would be a rendering engine, built from a language that isn't HTML.
well from that argument, you can't make a compiler for a real language
i want to display stuff on my screen, and i'm not a rendering engine, i'm a human!
