Programming is like making furniture.

Java: buying wood, supplies, and tools from IKEA and assembling from a manual.

ASM: carving a chair out of a tree with a pocket knife

Machine Code: same as ASM, but without the pocket knife
BASIC256: buying a table, and all you have to do is put the legs on.

You'd have to be a non-programmer to think HTML is a language anyway.:P

Well, it is a language (Hyper Text Markup Language), but its just markup (display), not a programming language. And I think that a lot of people think that jScript is part of HTML. :S

TI-BASIC: Put the table together via prefabbed pieces but make it very heavy, cumbersome, and large in a very small room.

TI-BASIC(nSpire): Table with only two legs.

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

Correction: Draw the exact same table on photo-quality paper.

What does that have to do with tables? ???

Java: Everybody must first define exactly what a table is, then proceed to build it to the highest quality specifications.

Python: Do whatever the hell you want and a table magically appears.
