I never meant "free of computation", I actually mentioned a lot that forget computers and softwares, and focus on languages.
<script> is Javascript, not html (I mean what's inside), they just smashed together.
>specifies an specific output
That specific output definition is really different.
Consider this:
-task: give me even numbers
-imperative approach:
for i=1 to 100
result += i * 2
next
-functional approach
return [1,2,3,...].select(x=x * 2)
-declarative approach (not possible, but for the sake of example)
EVEN NUMBERS = NUMBERS LIKE 2,4,6 AND CARRY ON <-this requires a framework, which understand every word i wrote there.
What i wanna ask you to re-explain these examples with your understanding of classification, but using the same task.
>Reality is that declarative languages would be little more than file formats without access to computation.
That what HTML is. A declarative language and a file which requires a framework.
> Your earlier example of SELECT (1+3); is something that can be done in HTML (many different ways), too.
No, not with strictly sticking to the standard and not use any trickery. HTML was not designed to do any kind of calculation. That's why javascript came later.
